The Sea Serpent: The Yarns of Jean Marie Cabidoulin (French: Les Histoires de Jean-Marie Cabidoulin, lit.

The Stories of Jean-Marie Cabidoulin) is an adventure novel by French author Jules Verne first published in 1901.

The story centers on a French whaling ship, the St. Enoch, which sets out from Le Havre on a voyage to kill whales for their meat and oil.

The ship's cooper is the eponymous Cabidoulin, a firm believer in the existence of a giant serpent with a habit of dragging vessels to their doom.
