Rat svjetova (The War of the Worlds) (1898) je science fiction roman u kome je autor H. G. Wells opisao invaziju Engleske od strane vanzemaljaca s Marsa. Predstavlja jedan od najstarijih i najpoznatijih prikaza vanzemaljske invazije na Zemlju te je utjecao na mnoge slične romane te poslužio kao predložak nekoliko filmova, radio-drame i TV-serije. Delo se bavi problemima ljudske evolucije i odnosa zapadne civilizacije prema svojim kolonijama. Ideja za delo Rat svetova je nastalo preko razgovara pisca sa jednim svojim prijateljem. Kada je upitao prijatelja "Što bi bilo da nas napadne neka razvijenija civilizacija i da se odnosi prema nama kao mi prema svojim kolonijama?", sinula mu je ideja da napiše delo Rat svetova. Emitiranje radio-drame godine 1938. je izazvalo kontroverze, jer su mnogi slušatelji vjerovali kako je riječ o pravoj marsovskoj invaziji, a što se smatra jednim od najpoznatijih primejra masovne histerije.
