This article presents a list of books in which an adult is portrayed as feeling or acting on a sexual attraction to a pre-pubescent or pubescent child or an adult sexually abuses a minor child. The pedophilic attraction or sexual abuse may be central to the plot or peripheral. The attraction or abuse may be to a single individual or to several children.
The list is primarily limited to works of fiction, memoirs and non-fiction books in the English language. Books first published in other languages are listed when an English translation has been published. Scientific, professional, medical, research studies and self-help books on child sexual abuse are generally not included.
This article lists books. There are equivalent lists of films, songs, and works for the theatre.
