Red in the Morning is a 1946 adventure novel by the English author Dornford Yates (Cecil William Mercer), the seventh in his 'Chandos' thriller series.

The events of the story immediately follow those of his 1939 novel Gale Warning in which Richard Chandos and Jonathan Mansel appear as characters.

Characters familiar from earlier books include Jenny Chandos, John and Audrey Bagot, Carson, Bell, Rowley, Toby Rage, and the minor villain Punter.

Other villains include the fallen scholar Brevet, counterfeiter Baron Horace de Parol (owner of the Château of Arx), and his niece, Mona Lelong ("The Stoat").

Red in the Morning was written rapidly by Mercer, who needed at this stage in his life to ensure he remained in the ranks of best-selling authors.
