Wayfaring Men: A Novel is a literary work by Edna Lyall, published in 1897. The novel is set in the late 19th century and follows the lives of two young men, Jack and Guy, who are both seeking their fortunes in the world.

The two men meet by chance and strike up a friendship, but their different personalities and goals lead them down separate paths. Jack settles down with a wife and family, while Guy becomes involved in a dangerous criminal underworld. As the story unfolds, the two men's paths cross again, and they are forced to confront the consequences of their choices. The novel explores themes of friendship, morality, and the struggle between ambition and contentment.
