Water Man is a 1993 novel by Australian novelist Roger McDonald.

Events surrounding the first divining echo down the years to the second, when tensions left unresolved re-emerge and engulf a new set of characters.

Reviewing the novel in The Canberra Times Alan Gould noted: "Perhaps the most persistent theme in McDonald's work is that of the personality unfamiliar with itself; able to scrutinise nature and fellow human beings with great, and often lyrical particularity, but never quite at ease with either, never quite self-possessed.

With its gentle use of fable, with its unobtrusive underpinnings in Jungian psychology, Water Man provides an intriguing, readable, progress to that theme.
