Legally Blonde is a 2001 comic novel by American author Amanda Brown,[2][1] with a copyright credit also going to Brigid (Bridget) Kerrigan.[1][3][4]

The novel was the basis of the 2001 film Legally Blonde which starred Reese Witherspoon and its 2003 sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde,[2] as well as the 2007 musical Legally Blonde[2] and the 2009 direct-to-video film Legally Blondes.

The novel was based on Brown's experiences while enrolled in Stanford Law School.[1]
