《人间天堂》是美国作家弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲茨杰拉德创作的长篇小说，也是其处女作。

它的问世奠定了弗朗西斯·斯科特·基·菲茨杰拉德作为“爵士时代”的魁首和桂冠诗人的地位。在《人间天堂》中，菲茨杰拉德通过对艾莫里“幻想——追求——破灭”这一历程细致入微的描绘，“将青年人狂热追求‘美国梦’的幻想和注定要破灭的这一主题淋漓尽致地表现了出来”。

This Side of Paradise charts the life of Amory Blaine, an ambitious young man loosely based on Fitzgerald himself, as he moves from his well-heeled Midwest home to study at Princeton and then starts frequenting the circles of high society as an aspiring writer. Experiencing failure and frustration in love and in his career, Blaine finds his youthful enthusiasm gradually giving way to disillusionment, cynicism and a life of dissolution. A critical account of its own era, introducing many themes which would be developed in later works, Fitzgerald's first novel was an instant critical and commercial success, propelling him into the limelight as a literary celebrity.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940), considered one of the finest American writers of the 20th century, was the author of various novels and short stories chronicling life during the Roaring Twenties.
