''Ghostwritten'' is the first novel by David Mitchell, published in 1999. The story is made up of nine loosely connected short stories ranging from Japan to New York. Most of the stories take place around the turn of the 21st century, although two of the stories begin early in the 20th century.

The stories are all connected: events in earlier stories have huge consequences in the later stories. Each of the narratives are linked to the others in many ways: in one instance, one narrator has a one-night stand with the ex-wife of an earlier narrator before saving the life of another narrator. ''Ghostwritten'' discusses many themes, including the role of chance and fate in life.
