Behind That Curtain (1928) is the third novel in the Charlie Chan series of mystery novels by Earl Derr Biggers. It is set almost exclusively in California (as opposed to Chan's native Hawaii), and tells the story of a Scotland Yard detective who is pursuing the long-cold trail of a murderer. Just when it seems he might finally solve the case, he, too, is killed. It is left to Chan to solve the case and tie up all loose ends. An enjoyable and well-written, if unremarkable, entry in the series.

First published before World War II and reissued by Warner Books in 1987 the book is now out of print.

It was adapted for film as Behind That Curtain in 1929 and elements were used for Charlie Chan's Chance in 1932.
