Kiss Kiss is a collection of short stories by Roald Dahl, first published in 1960 by Jonathan Cape in London and Alfred Knopf in the USA. Most of the constituent stories had been previously published elsewhere.

It contains the following short stories:

Without becoming horror, these are some of Dahl's most macabre stories. Delicately, the naïve punish the wicked, but also the other way around.

"The Champion of the World" is a condensed version of the story that would become Dahl's 1977 children's book, Danny the Champion of the World.
