''[[The Dice Man]]'' is a novel published in 1971 by George Cockcroft under the pen name Luke Rhinehart and tells the story of a psychiatrist who begins making life decisions based on the casting of dice. Cult black comedy favourite.
Luke Rhinehart, respected psychiatrist and family man, is in a slump. Bored to insanity by his humdrum life, he conducts a psychological experiment to destroy the self, by letting the role of a die determine his next actions. From here, after surrendering his will, he takes all the risks he's denied himself. The path of the dice however, leads him to become a cult leader, adulterer, underground activist, millionaire, {{spoiler|asylum inmate, murderer and fugitive}}

Not to be confused with the British travel documentary inspired by the work which shares its name, or with comedian Andrew "Dice" Clay.
