The Apes of God is a 1930 novel by the British artist and writer Wyndham Lewis. It is a satire of London's contemporary literary scene.
The novel has a fragmentary structure, following a young poet called Dan Boleyn from one encounter with the literati to another. Lewis himself features in the background as a much reviled writer, "Pierpont". Wyndham's "enemies", such as the Sitwells and members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Virginia Woolf, are clearly recognisable under fictional names, and are treated with savage humour.
