The Talmud Unmasked (Latin: Christianus in Talmud Iudaeorum: sive, Rabbinicae doctrinae Christiani secreta. English: The Christian in the Jewish Talmud: Secret rabbinical teachings concerning Christians) is a book published in 1892 by Justinas Bonaventure Pranaitis (1861–1917), a Lithuanian Catholic priest. The book is a collection of purported quotations from the Talmud and Zohar that are claimed to demonstrate that Judaism despises non-Jews and promotes the murder or injury of non-Jews in some instances. Pranaitis drew on the earlier works of Jakob Ecker and August Rohling.

Scholars classify "The Talmud Unmasked" as an antisemitic and anti-Talmudic work, comparable to "Der Talmud Jude" by Rohling (1871) and "The Traditions of the Jews" by Johann Eisenmenger (1700). Modern authors agree that Pranaitis was not competent in Aramaic and the work contains mistranslations, plagiarism from those earlier works, and fabrications.
