End the Fed is a 2009 book by Congressman Ron Paul of Texas that critiques the United States Federal Reserve System and advocates for its abolition. Paul argues that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, economically harmful, and a threat to individual liberty. The book debuted at number six on the New York Times Best Seller list and contends that Federal Reserve policies contribute to economic instability by creating artificial booms and subsequent busts.

The book played a role in popularizing opposition to the Federal Reserve within libertarian and conservative political movements. It received attention in economic and political discourse, with supporters endorsing its critique of monetary policy and critics challenging its assertions. Its publication coincided with increased scrutiny of the Federal Reserve following the 2008 financial crisis and contributed to broader debates on monetary policy, including those associated with the rise of the Tea Party movement.
