Frigate "Pallada" (Russian: Фрегат "Паллада") is a book by Ivan Goncharov, written in 1854–1856 and based on a diary that he kept as a secretary for Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin during his 1852–1854 around-the world expedition on board Frigate Pallada.

After several chapters of it appeared in 1855–1857 in Otechestvennye Zapiski, Morskoy Sbornik (Sea Anthology) and Sovremennik, in 1858 the first separate edition of Frigate "Pallada" came out, to critical and popular acclaim. In its author's lifetime the book has been re-issued five times: in 1862, 1879, 1884 (as part of the Complete Works by Ivan Goncharov edition) and 1886 (twice).[1][2]
