At Swim-Two-Birds es una novela del escritor irlandés Flann O'Brien, publicada en 1939. Es una obra metaficcional que mezcla humor, sátira y elementos de la mitología irlandesa. La historia sigue a un estudiante universitario en Dublín que escribe una novela sobre un autor llamado Dermot Trellis, cuyos personajes se rebelan contra él. La novela explora temas de autoría, identidad y la naturaleza de la realidad, y es considerada una obra maestra de la literatura irlandesa moderna.

Brian O'Nolan, whose pen names included Flann O'Brien, was an Irish Civil Service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. His four English-language novels, At Swim-Two-Birds (1939), The Hard Life (1961), The Dalkey Archive (1964) and The Third Policeman (1967), were published under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish-language novel, An Béal Bocht (1941), were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen.
