News of a Kidnapping (Original Spanish title Noticia de un secuestro) is a book by Gabriel García Márquez. It was first published in Spanish in 1996, with an English translation released in 1997.

The book, a non-fiction, recounts the kidnapping, imprisonment, and eventual release of a handful of prominent figures in Colombia in the early 1990's by the Medellín Cartel, a drug cartel founded and operated by Pablo Escobar.
