The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby is a children's novel by Charles Kingsley. Written in 1862–63 as a serial for Macmillan's Magazine, it was first published in its entirety in 1863, it was written as part satire in support of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species. The book was popular in England, was a mainstay of British children's literature for many decades, but fell out of favour in part due to its prejudices against Irish, Jews and Americans; the protagonist is Tom, a young chimney sweep, who falls into a river after encountering an upper-class girl named Ellie and being chased out of her house. There he appears to drown and is transformed into a "water-baby", as he is told by a caddisfly—an insect that sheds its skin—and begins his moral education; the story is thematically concerned with Christian redemption, though Kingsley uses the book to argue that England treats its poor badly, to question child labour, among other themes. Tom embarks on a series of adventures and lessons, enjoys the community of other water-babies on Saint Brendan's Island once he proves himself a moral creature.

The major spiritual leaders in his new world are the fairies Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby, Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid, Mother Carey. Weekly, Tom is allowed the company of Ellie. Grimes, his old master, drowns as well, in his final adventure, Tom travels to the end of the world to attempt to help the man where he is being punished for his misdeeds. Tom helps Grimes to find repentance, Grimes will be given a second chance if he can perform a final penance. By proving his willingness to do things he does not like, if they are the right things to do, Tom earns himself a return to human form, becomes "a great man of science" who "can plan railways, steam-engines, electric telegraphs, rifled guns, so forth", he and Ellie are united, although the book states that they never marry, claiming that in fairy tales, no one beneath the rank of prince and princess marries. The book ends with the caveat that it is only a fairy tale, the reader is to believe none of it, "even if it is true." In the style of Victorian-era novels, The Water-Babies is a didactic moral fable.

In it, Kingsley expresses many of the common prejudices of that time period, the book includes dismissive or insulting references to Americans, Jews and Catholics the Irish. These views may have played a role in the book's gradual fall from popularity; the book had been intended in part as a satire, a tract against child labour, as well as a serious critique of the closed-minded approaches of many scientists of the day in their response to Charles Darwin's ideas on evolution, which Kingsley had been one of the first to praise. He had been sent an advance review copy of On the Origin of Species, wrote in his response of 18 November 1859 that he had "long since, from watching the crossing of domesticated animals and plants, learnt to disbelieve the dogma of the permanence of species," and had "gradually learnt to see that it is just as noble a conception of Deity, to believe that He created primal forms capable of self development into all forms needful pro tempore and pro loco, as to believe that He required a fresh act of intervention to supply the lacunas which He Himself had made", asking "whether the former be not the loftier thought."In the book, for example, Kingsley argues that no person is qualified to say that something that they have never seen does not exist.

How do you know that? Have you been there to see? And if you had been there to see, had seen none, that would not prove that there were none... And no one has a right to say that no water babies exist till they have seen no water babies existing, quite a different thing, from not seeing water babies. In his Origin of Species, Darwin mentions that, like many others at the time, he thought that changed habits produce an inherited effect, a concept now known as Lamarckism. In The Water Babies, Kingsley tells of a group of humans called the Doasyoulikes who are allowed to do "whatever they like" so lose the power of speech, degenerate into gorillas, are shot by the African explorer Paul Du Chaillu, he refers to the movement to end slavery in mentioning that one of the gorillas shot by Du Chaillu "remembered that his ancestors had once been men, tried to say,'Am I Not A Man And A Brother?', but had forgotten how to use his tongue." The Water Babies alludes to debates among biologists of its day, satirising what Kingsley had dubbed the Great Hippocampus Question as the "Great hippopotamus test."

At various times the text refers to "Sir Roderick Murchison, Professor Owen, Professor Huxley, Mr. Darwin", thus they become explicitly part of the story. In the accompanying illustrations by Linley Sambourne and Owen are caricatured, studying a captured water baby. In 1892 Thomas Henry Huxley's five-year-old grandson Julian saw this engraving and wrote his grandfather a letter asking: Dear Grandpater – Have you seen a Waterbaby? Did you put it in a bottle? Did it wonder if it could get out? Could I see it some day? – Your loving Julian. Huxley wrote back a letter: My dear Julian – I could never make sure about that Water Baby. I have seen Babies in Babies in bottles. My friend who wrote the story of the Water Baby was a kind man and clever, he thought I could see as much in the water as
