Efuru (ISBN 0435900269) is a book by Flora Nwapa which was published in 1966, making it the first book written by a Nigerian woman to be published. The book is about Efuru, an Ibo woman who lives in a small village in colonial West Africa. Throughout the story, Efuru wishes to be a mother, though she is an independent-minded woman and respected for her trading ability.

This book is considered a feminist work, though a controversial one, in part due to its depiction of female circumcision.
