Hooky the Cripple: The Grim Tale of a Hunchback Who Triumphs is a 2002 novel by Australian writer Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read, illustrated by Adam Cullen and published by Pluto Press.

It was formatted as a book for young readers, but by some authorities was considered as containing too much violence to be suitable for children.

While the Queensland government body AccessEd recommended it for secondary schools, a school in Victoria banned it, and likewise the president of the Australian Families Association in Queensland wanted it banned from schools.
