Zazie in the Metro – or simply Zazie, depending on the translation – (original French title: Zazie dans le métro), a French novel written in 1959, was the first major success of author Raymond Queneau.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Provincial pre-teenager Zazie stays in Paris with her Uncle Gabriel (a female impersonator) for two days, while her mother spends some time with her lover. Zazie manages to evade her uncle's custody, however, and, metro strike notwithstanding, sets out to explore the city on her own.

In 1960 the book was adapted by Louis Malle into a film starring Catherine Demongeot as Zazie and Philippe Noiret as Gabriel.
