The Shrinking Man (sh. Čovjek koji se smanjuje) je science fiction roman američkog pisca Richarda Mathesona, originalno objavljen 1956. godine. Protagonist je običan čovjek po imenu Scott Carey koji slučajno konzumira radioaktivni insekticid koji izazove postepeno, ali stalno smanjivanje veličine njegovog tijela. Radnja prikazuje kako se taj proces odražava na njegov bračni i porodični život, ali i kako ga s vremenom dođe u opasnost kada ga u minijaturnoj veličini počnu vrebati kućni ljubimci i insekti. The Shrinking Man se od strane kasnijih kritičara često tumačio kao svojevrsna alegorija na strahove muškaraca srednje klase iz predgrađa Amerike 1950-ih. Danas je, međutim, najpoznatiji kao predložak za dva filma - klasični The Incredible Shrinking Man u režiji Jacka Arnolda iz 1957. godine te komičnu adaptaciju The Incredible Shrinking Woman iz 1981. godine sa Lily Tomlin u naslovnoj ulozi.
