The Flame (Italian: Il fuoco) is a 1900 novel by the Italian writer Gabriele D'Annunzio. It is set in 1883 Venice and tells the story of a young artist and his mistress, a famous but quickly aging actress.

The novel was published in English in 1900 as The Flame of Life. A new translation was published in 1991 as The Flame.[2]
