'''''Many Waters''''' is a 1986 novel by American author [[Madeleine L'Engle]], part of the author's [[Time Quintet]] (also known as the Time Quartet). The title is taken from the [[Song of Solomon]] 8:7: "Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.  If a man were to give all his wealth for love, it would be utterly scorned."

The principal characters of the story are [[Sandy and Dennys Murry]], twin brothers who are somewhat out of place in the Murry family from ''[[A Wrinkle in Time]]''. The action of the story follows that of ''[[A Wind in the Door]]'' but precedes the climactic, apocalyptic event in ''[[A Swiftly Tilting Planet]]''.
