Suuri illusioni ("the great illusion") is a 1928 novel by the Finnish writer Mika Waltari. It is about bohemian and aimless urban life in the author's own generation. The novel became a breakthrough for Waltari, who previously had been a writer of religious poetry and horror short stories. It received positive reviews and was translated into several languages.[1]

The book was the basis for the 1985 film Grand Illusion directed by Tuija-Maija Niskanen.[2]
