Against the Law is a 1955 book by Peter Wildeblood. It is an account of the "Montagu case" — the trial of Wildeblood, Michael Pitt-Rivers and Edward Montagu, Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, for homosexual offences — and Wildeblood's subsequent prison sentence.

Wildeblood was one of the first men in the UK to publicly declare his homosexuality. In the book, he declared his support for reform of law regarding homosexuality, and also for prison reform.
