Wormwood: A Drama of Paris (1890) is a proto-modernist novel written by Marie Corelli. The novel was published in Europe in the traditional Victorian three-volume format and addressed the modern effects and woes of absinthe in fin-de-siècle Paris.

The European edition was published in 1890 by Richard Bentley & Son, London. An American edition was published by Wm. L. Allison, New York. Another American edition that called itself "authorized" was released by Hurst & Co. of New York.
