Ceremony is a novel by Native American writer Leslie Marmon Silko, first published by Penguin in 1977.

The story documents the troubles of Tayo, a half-white, half-Laguna Indian, as he struggles to cope with returning to traditional Native American society after surviving the Bataan Death March of World War II. As mental instability engulfs him, he turns to traditional spirituality and ceremony as a source of healing.
