The Green Berets was is a non-fiction book (ISBN 0-312-98492-8) written by Robin Moore about the Green Berets in the Vietnam War, originally published in 1965. It was made into a movie by the same name starring John Wayne. The latest edition was published in 2002.

The movie version is notable as the only Hollywood film about Vietnam that was actually produced during the Vietnam War. Set in South Vietnam (on the western coast of the Pacific Ocean) but filmed in California (on the Pacific's eastern coast), the film contains a notorious error in the final sequence, when the sun on the horizon is seen setting into (rather than rising out of) the ocean.
