Heart of a Dog is a novella by Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov. A biting satire of Bolshevism, it was written in 1925 at the height of the New Economic Policy, a period during which communism appeared to be relaxing in the Soviet Union.

Its publication was initially prohibited in the Soviet Union, but it circulated in samizdat until it was officially released in the country in 1987.
