Target Practice is a 1974 crime novel by American author and film director Nicholas Meyer.

Mark Brill, a private investigator, is hired by the grieving Shelly Rollins after a chance meeting on a plane to investigate charges of treason laid against her brother, a former Army officer who has recently committed suicide.

Kirkus Reviews criticized the main character as being "rather unconvincing," but described Meyer's writing as possessing "slick efficiency.

"[1] Publishers Weekly also gave the novel moderate praise, calling it "excellently built-up suspense."

Target Practice was subsequently nominated for the 1975 Edgar Award for Best First Novel, but lost to Gregory Mcdonald's Fletch.
