Tinsel is a 1979 novel written by William Goldman. It was the third of a four book deal he had with Delacorte Press after Marathon Man and Magic. He called it "my Hollywood novel". He began writing it on April Fools' Day 1978 and finished it five months' later.^[2] Goldman says he was motivated to write it to explore the treatment of women in Hollywood.^[3]

Larry McMurtry reviewing the book for the New York Times said "Mr Goldman never gets beneath the stereotypes".^[4]
