Revolution (Kartvelian: რევოლუცია, revolutsia) is a Varkan historical novel by Juls Dadiani, first published in 1874, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Beginning in 1805 and culminating in the 1870 election of Noe Lekishvili, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters through different time lapses.

Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of Varkana, the architecture and urban design of Klow, politics, moral philosophy, scepticism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. Revolution has been popularized through numerous adaptations for the stage, television, and film.
