Freak the Mighty is a children's novel by Rodman Philbrick. Published in 1993, it was followed by Max the Mighty in 1998. The primary characters are the friends Maxwell Kane, a huge but learning-disabled kid, and his friend Kevin Dillon, nicknamed "Freak", who is physically crippled but very intelligent.

Also in 1998, it was the basis for the Golden Globe-nominated movie titled just The Mighty. Elden Henson played Max, and Kieran Culkin played Kevin. A version of the book also titled just The Mighty was released in conjunction with the movie.

In 2001, Philbrick wrote one- and two-act plays based on his book. The work has been performed, but has not yet been formally published.

The movie also stars:

Harry Dean Stanton as Elton "Grim" Pinneman
Gena Rowlands as Susan "Gram" Pinneman
Sharon Stone as Gwen Avery
Gillian Anderson as Loretta Lee
Meat Loaf as Iggy
James Gandolfini as "Killer" Kane
