Hess: A Biography is a book by Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel. It is a 1971 biography of Rudolf Hess.

It was published by MacGibbon and Kee (London) in 1971 as a 256-page hardcover (ISBN 0-261-63246-9). Drake Publishers (New York) republished it in 1973 (ISBN 0-87749-428-2).

In the introduction, the authors state their aim to "be as objective as possible about" Hess, discuss the politics of his incarceration at Spandau, and state their belief that the "time for mere hot-blooded vengeance has long passed, and that for simple, human justice came long ago. Hess should be released."
