Seryozha (Russian: Серёжа, published 1955) is a short novel by Soviet writer Vera Panova.

The most important event of the story is the marriage of Seryozha's mother to a Red Army veteran named Dmitry Korostelyev.

Throughout the novel Panova gives a relatively grim picture of life in the rural Soviet Union where both money and opportunity are scarce.

The novel ends with Korostelyev being reassigned to a new collective farm in the remote Arkhangelsky District, and taking the family with him.

"[1]The story was brought to the screen in the 1960 film Seryozha by Georgi Daneliya and Igor Talankin.
