The Green Mile is a 1996 serial novel by American writer Stephen King.

The serial novel was originally released in six volumes before being republished as a single-volume work. The book is an example of magical realism.

The Green Mile won the Bram Stoker Award for Best Novel in 1996. In 1997, The Green Mile was nominated as Best Novel for the British Fantasy Award and the Locus Award. In 2003 the book was listed on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel".
