Billion-Dollar Brain is a 1966 Cold War spy novel by Len Deighton. It was the fourth to feature an unnamed secret agent working for the British WOOC(P) intelligence agency. It follows The IPCRESS File (1962), Horse Under Water (1963), and Funeral in Berlin (1964). As in most of the author's novels, the plot of Billion Dollar Brain (1967) is intricate, with many dead ends. The novel was filmed as Billion Dollar Brain in 1967, the third installment of the Harry Palmer series of films based on Deighton's novels, featuring Michael Caine.
