"Io accuso" è una lettera scritta nel gennaio 1898 dallo scrittore francese Emile Zola in reazione all'affare Dreyfus, un caso che sconvolse la società francese del tardo XIX secolo. In questo testo Zola rivolge un appello pubblico all'allora presidente Félix Faure. Afferma che Alfred Dreyfus, un ebreo alsaziano, è stato ingiustamente accusato di aver divulgato informazioni alla Germania. Egli riprova la sentenza che condanna Dreyfus all'ergastolo sull'Isola del Diavolo nella Guyana francese. Accusa il governo francese di incarceramento illecito e di antisemitismo.
