Homo Faber: A Report is a novel by Max Frisch, first published in 1957.

The novel is in the form of a first-person narrative, written by Walter Faber, a successful engineer travelling through Europe and America. Faber's world-view based on logic and probability is challenged by his falling victim to an incredible coincidence. The novel is a keystone in the portrayal of the post-holocaust modern human being. The novel has clear allusions to Sophocles's Oedipus Rex. The Voyager, directed by Volker Schlöndorff in 1991, is based on the novel.
