Mating is a novel by American author Norman Rush. It is a first-person narrative of an unnamed American anthropology graduate student in Botswana around 1980. It focuses on her relationship with Nelson Denoon, a controversial American anthropologist who runs an experimental women-only village in the Kalahari desert.

Mating won the 1991 National Book Award for fiction.

The cover art for Mating, as well as Rush's short story collection, Whites is taken from Bosch's triptych, The Garden of Earthly Delights.
