Amok is a novella by the author Stefan Zweig. First printed in the newspaper Neue Freie Presse in 1922 Amok appeared shortly afterwards in the collection of novellas Amok: Novellas of a Passion. As Zweig was fascinated and influenced by Sigmund Freud's work Amok includes clear psychoanalytic elements. It deals with an extreme obsession which leads the protagonist to sacrifice his professional and private life and eventually to commit suicide.

The title of the novella comes from the Indonesian-origin term "amok" which was uncommon in those days. It refers to people who attack the enemy in supposedly blind anger and try to kill the enemy as well as anyone else in their way randomly without taking into consideration any danger.

In the novella as in Moonbeam Alley Zweig brings the altruistic concerns of the protagonist into the forefront.
