The Teahouse of the August Moon is a novel by Vern Sneider published in 1951. The book was subsequently adapted for a play (1953) and film (1956) with the same titles, both written by John Patrick, and later, in 1970, the Broadway musical Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen by Patrick and Stan Freeman. It depicts the activities of US Army military government officers and personnel in occupied Okinawa following World War II.
