Lady Susan, a novel by J. Austen, written probably 1793–4, published 1871, from an untitled manuscript dated 1805.

The story consists of letters, written chiefly between the kindly Mrs Vernon and her mother Lady de Courcy, and between the unscrupulous, beautiful Lady Susan (the widow of Mr Vernon's brother) and her London friend Mrs Johnson. The events occur mainly at Churchill, the country house of the Vernons.
