The Age of Revolution: Europe, 1789–1848 is a book by Eric Hobsbawm, first published in 1962. It is the first in a trilogy of books about "the long 19th century" (coined by Hobsbawm), followed by The Age of Capital, 1848-1875, and The Age of Empire, 1875-1914. A fourth book, The Age of Extremes: The Short Twentieth Century, 1914-1991, acts as a sequel to the trilogy.

Hobsbawm analyzed the early 19th century, and indeed the whole process of modernization thereafter, using what he calls the twin revolution thesis. This thesis recognized the dual importance of the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution as mid-wives of modern European history, and – through the connections of colonialism and imperialism – world history.
