The Sniper is a 1974 thriller novel by Nelson DeMille. It was DeMille's first published novel. Like the other books in the Joe Ryker series, it was re-published in 1989 with the author as Jack Cannon.

It is about a tough New York City Police Department Sergeant named Joe Ryker, and his pursuit of a murdering sniper named Homer Cyrus, who fought in the Vietnam war before coming to New York City and becoming a murderer.
