A Tale of Two Cities (srpskohrvatski: Priča o dva grada) je roman britanskog književnika Charlesa Dickensa originalno objavljen 1859. godine, poznat kao jedno od njegovih najpopularnijih i najuticajnijih djela, odnosno jedna od najpopularnijih i najbolje prodavanih knjiga u historiji.
Originalno je objavljen nastavcima i sastoji se od tri dijela, radnjom smještenih u period prije i na samom početku Francuske revolucije, a protagonisti su bili likovi s obje strane La Mancheaa čije su različite nacionalnosti i društveni status davali izuzetno široku perspektivu tih zbivanja. Dickens je svoj roman velikim dijelom temeljio na popularnoj historijskoj knjizi The French Revolution: A History Thomasa Carylea, ali je inspiracija također pronađena i u suvremenoj Engleskoj, prije svega životu tamošnjih nižih slojeva. Roman se posebno isticao prikazivanjem društvenih razlika, odnosno ugnjetavanja siromašnih nižih klasa od strane aristokracije u predrevolucionarnoj Francuskoj, ali i brutalnog kaotičnog nasilja do koje je došlo za vrijeme Revolucije i kulminiralo u revolucionarnom Teroru. Dickensovo djelo, koje će u anglofonom svijetu postati najpopularniji i najčešće citiran prikaz Francuske revolucije, se često tumačilo kao svojevrsno upozorenje njegovim suvremenicima, prije svega pripadnicima viših britanskih klasa, da ne ponavljaju pogreške francuskih aristokrata i ne dozvole da se ikada više ponove tako krvavi i tragični događaji.
