Jackson Pollock: An American Saga is a 1989 biography of abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock, by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith. It was considered "well-researched" by Publishers Weekly and Library Journal, and inspired Ed Harris to adapt it to film as Pollock in 2000. It was awarded the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography.

Jackson Pollock is the first book to explore the great artist with psychological depth, based on interviews with over 850 people.
