The Bride Wore Black is a 1940 American novel written by Cornell Woolrich, initially published under the pseudonym William Irish.[1][2] Although it was Woolrich's seventh published novel, it was the first in the noir/pulp style for which he would become known, his previous novels having been Jazz Age fiction about the wealthy and privileged.

In 1968, The Bride Wore Black was adapted into a film of the same name by the French director François Truffaut.[3]
