The Naked Civil Servant is the 1968 autobiography of British gay icon Quentin Crisp, adapted into a 1975 film of the same name starring John Hurt.

The book began as a 1964 radio interview with Crisp conducted by his friend and fellow eccentric Philip O'Connor.

Having sold only 3,500 copies when first released, the book became a success when it was republished following the television movie broadcast.

Crisp also recalls his various jobs including book designer, nude model, and prostitute.
