The Masquerader (1904) is a novel by Irish writer Katherine Cecil Thurston published in both the United Kingdom and the United States. (It was titled John Chilcote, M.P. in its British release.)

A leading British politician chooses to swap places with his cousin, a journalist who is his doppelganger. This leads to a dilemma for his wife, who falls in love with the double. It was the third most popular book on the New York Times bestselling list that year, and continued as a bestseller in 1905.^[1]
