Rocket to Luna is a juvenile science fiction novel by prolific author and screenwriter Evan Hunter (as Richard Marsten) published in 1953 by The John C. Winston Company with cover illustration by Alex Schomburg.

The story follows the adventures of the main character Ted Baker after he mistakenly replaces a member of the first lunar expedition at the last moment before the rocket leaves for the Moon.

On his trip to the station from Earth, he is accompanied by a recent graduate of the Academy, Jack Talbot, who is to be part of the first expedition to the Moon as a backup member.

Jack refuses to give up his chance at glory, forcing Ted into a physical confrontation.

P. Schuyler Miller described Rocket to Luna as a "prelude," suggesting it was intended to set up a series of sequels.
