The Stars My Destination, also known as Tiger! Tiger!, is a science fiction novel by Alfred Bester, originally serialized in Galaxy magazine in four parts beginning with the October 1956 issue. It is set in a future where humans have learned to teleport (jaunt), and it follows the protagonist, Gully Foyle, on a path of revenge and self-discovery. The book is considered one of the pinnacles of the science fiction genre and is noted for its rich characterization, philosophical themes, and innovative narrative techniques.

The first edition was published by Victor Gollancz Ltd in the UK in 1956 with a yellow dust jacket.
