"The Man in the Maze" is a novel written by Robert Silverberg, published in 1969. It tells the tale of a man rendered incapable of interacting normally with other human beings by his uncontrollable psychic abilities. The novel is inspired by Sophocles' play Philoctetes, with the roles of Odysseus, Neoptolemus and Philoctetes played by Boardman, Rawlins, and Muller, respectively.

The novel deals with themes of isolation and social alienation, using psychic powers as an allegory for human interaction. Silverberg employed similar techniques in "Dying Inside".
