Boleros en la Habana es una novela detectivesca del escritor chileno Roberto Ampuero, publicada en 1997. La historia sigue a Cayetano Brulé, un investigador privado de origen cubano, que es contratado por un viejo cantante de boleros para resolver un asunto en La Habana. A medida que Brulé investiga, descubre una trama complicada que lo lleva de vuelta a Chile y a una fábrica de juguetes con secretos oscuros. En La Habana, la aparición de Paloma Matamoros, estrella del Tropicana, complica aún más las cosas. Esta novela combina elementos de la literatura negra con un arquetipo latinoamericano, mezclando ironía, audacia y sagacidad.
