Fata Morgana (The Dream of the Land) is a story by Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi, dedicated to the theme of changes in the Ukrainian village in the early twentieth century and the revolution of 1905-1907. The story is subtitled «From the Rural Moods».

The story was written in parts, first as a short story in 1901, and in 1910 it was supplemented by a description of events in the countryside during the 1905-1907 revolution in the Russian Empire. Its title is an allusion to the optical phenomenon of a veil mirage. With this choice of title, the author tries to show the illusory nature of the peasantry's hopes and expectations for land, freedom, and the elimination of social inequality.
