"L'Inconnu sur la Terre" is an essay written by French Nobel laureate J. M. G. Le Clézio.

The essay is described by the author as being a long journal written on Italian schoolbooks of a young boy's erratic walkabout on the soil, though not far from the sea, somewhat lost in the fog, and who particularly likes the intensive light of day.
