Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women is a fantasy novel written by George MacDonald, first published in London in 1858. The story centres on the character Anodos ("pathless," or "ascent" in Greek) and takes its inspiration from German Romanticism, particularly Novalis.

Anodos lives through many adventures and temptations while in the other world, until he is finally ready to give up his ideals.
