The Phoenix and the Carpet is a novel for children, written in 1904 by E. Nesbit. It is the second in a trilogy of novels that began with Five Children and It (1902), and follows the adventures of the same five children – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane and the Lamb – when they come across a magic carpet that possesses the power to grant wishes, and a mysterious egg that hatches into a talking phoenix. The trilogy concludes with The Story of the Amulet (1906).

The novel was adapted into a BBC TV series in 1976, and again in 1997.
