Tracker is a 2017 biography of Aboriginal activist Tracker Tilmouth by Alexis Wright. The book was published by Giramondo Publishing and was the winner of the 2018 Stella Prize, the 2018 Magarey Medal for Biography, and the 2018 Non-Fiction Book Award at the Queensland Literary Awards.
The book has been praised for its unorthodox approach to biography. Wright, inspired by Aboriginal storytelling traditions, aimed to construct the book as a "multi-vocal" text by presenting a collection of more than 50 interviews with Tilmouth and those who knew him.
