The Son (Norwegian: Sønnen, 2014) is a crime novel by Norwegian novelist Jo Nesbø. It is the second stand-alone crime novel by Nesbø, following Headhunters (2008).

Nesbø started work on The Son during Good Friday in 2012. The plot is inspired by the Bible.
A feature film based on the novel is set to be directed by Denis Villeneuve and produced by Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker's Nine Stories and Michel Litvak's Bold Films, with Jo Nesbø executive producing it alongside Niclas Salomonsson.
