The Weirdstone of Brisingamen is a fantasy story by the author Alan Garner, first published in 1960. It is set in and around Macclesfield and Alderley Edge, Cheshire, and tells the story of two children, Colin and Susan, who are on holiday there. Susan has a bracelet, containing the Weirdstone of the title, that makes the children hunted by the forces of evil. The novel borrows extensively from Celtic, Norse and Arthurian legends.

Its sequel is The Moon of Gomrath.
