The Fixer is a 1966 novel by Bernard Malamud which is based on the true story of Menahem Mendel Beilis, an unjustly imprisoned Jew in Tsarist Russia. The notorious "Beilis trial" of 1913 caused an international uproar that forced Russia to back down in the face of world indignation. The trial is fictionalized using a very similar story line. The book won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1967.

The book was adapted into a film in 1968 by Dalton Trumbo, starring Alan Bates, Dirk Bogarde, Georgia Brown, Hugh Griffith, Elizabeth Hartman, Ian Holm, David Opatoshu and David Warner. It was directed by John Frankenheimer, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Alan Bates).
