{{italic title}}Seraph on the Suwanee is a 1948 novel by African American novelist Zora Neale Hurston.^[1] The novel is her last published novel, and was written after her publisher rejected two novels about black characters.^[1]

The novel is Hurston's only novel about white characters, exploring "white crackers" in Florida, attempting to create a "true picture of the South".^[1] The novel follows the experiences of a young woman as she has a fraught relationship with her husband and family.^[2]

The novel has never been well received by African American critics and scholars, often treating the novel as a "contrivance in Hurston's canon".^[3]
