《费马大定理:一个困惑了世间智者358年的谜》(英语:Fermat's Last Theorem 或 Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem)是一本由英国印度裔科普作家和理论物理学家西蒙·辛格创作的数学史著作,1997年出版,介绍了自1637年皮埃尔·德·费马提出费马大定理的猜想以来,无数数学家,包括埃瓦里斯特·伽罗瓦对证明此猜想的努力,直到1995年安德鲁·怀尔斯最终给出了证明。

Fermat's Last Theorem is a popular science book (1997) by Simon Singh. It tells the story of the search for a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, first conjectured by Pierre de Fermat in 1637, and explores how many mathematicians such as Évariste Galois had tried and failed to provide a proof for the theorem. Despite the efforts of many mathematicians, the proof would remain incomplete until 1995, with the publication of Andrew Wiles' proof of the Theorem. The book is the first mathematics book to become a Number One seller in the United Kingdom, whilst Singh's documentary The Proof, on which the book was based, won a BAFTA in 1997.
In the United States, the book was released as Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem. The book was released in the United States in October 1998 to coincide with the US release of Singh's documentary The Proof about Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.
