The Armour of Light is a historical fiction novel written by Welsh author Ken Follett. It serves as the fifth installment in the Kingsbridge Series and follows A Column of Fire.

Major historical influences on the narrative encompass the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. Textile manufacturing's industrialization drives much of the plot development.
