The Great Fire of London is a novel by the English author Peter Ackroyd.

It established themes which Ackroyd returns to again and again in his fiction:[citation needed] London, English literature and the intertwining (and blurring) of literary, historical and contemporary events.

The novel received generally positive reviews on its publication, although many reviewers have subsequently reassessed it in the light of Hawksmoor three years later, which had a similar focus albeit with a different historical perspective.
