Reflections in a Golden Eye is a 1941 novel by American author Carson McCullers.

It first appeared in Harper's Bazaar in 1940, serialized in the October–November issues. The book was published by Houghton Mifflin on February 14, 1941, to mostly poor reviews. The book was dedicated to the Swiss journalist, travel writer and novelist Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908–1942), whom McCullers had met and befriended in the summer of 1940 (after the book was finished).

It was adapted as a 1967 film of the same name, featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando.
