Ormond; Or, The Secret Witness is a 1799 political and social novel by American writer Charles Brockden Brown. The novel thematically focuses on the ways in which individuals change in reaction to their social environments.[1]

The novel follows a female protagonist Constantia and her relationship with the mysterious Ormond, who is also the title character.[2]

The novel thoroughly explores Republicanism in the United States and the republican values common to the early American nation.[3]
