La feria de las vanidades es una novela del autor inglés William Makepeace Thackeray publicada por vez primera en 1847–48, satirizando la sociedad del Reino Unido de principios del siglo XIX. El título del libro procede de la historia alegórica de John Bunyan El progreso del peregrino, publicada por vez primera en 1678 y aún leída ampliamente en la época de la novela de Thackeray. La feria de las vanidades se refiere a una parada en el progreso del peregrino: una feria interminable en una ciudad llamada Vanidad, que pretendía representar la atracción pecaminosa del hombre por las cosas mundanas. La novela es actualmente considerada un clásico, y ha inspirado varias adaptaciones cinematográficas, siendo la más reciente la película de 2004 protagonizada por Reese Witherspoon. En 2003, La feria de las vanidades fue incluida en la encuesta The Big Read de la BBC sobre la “novela más querida” del Reino Unido.
