Owl Moon is a 1987 children's picture book written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by John Schoenherr.

It won a number of awards, most notably the Caldecott Medal for its illustrations,[1] and appeared on the public television series Reading Rainbow.

In 1989, Weston Woods Studios adapted the book into an animated film narrated by Yolen.

While the text does not specify the child's gender, the jacket flap copy refers to the characters as "a little girl and her father".

The "Pa" character is based on her husband, David, who was an avid outdoorsman and birdwatcher and to whom Yolen credits her awareness of nature.
