The Holy Bible in Modern English, commonly known as the Ferrar Fenton Bible, was one of the earliest translations of the Bible into modern English.

Work on the translation began in 1853 by Ferrar Fenton. The translation is noted for a rearranging of the books of the Bible into what the author believed was the correct chronological order. Although this translation never achieved great popularity and fell into obscurity, it remains in print today, now published by the small Destiny Publishers of Merrimac, Massachusetts.
