《Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit》是英國作家珍妮特·溫特森於1985年出版的首部半自傳體長篇小說，由Vintage出版社發行。溫特森出生於1959年，童年成長於曼徹斯特的宗教環境中。該作品於1990年被改編為同名電視劇，溫特森親自擔任編劇。
小說以英國偏遠小鎮為背景，講述主人公珍妮特因同性傾向遭受宗教與家庭壓制，最終通過抗爭實現自我覺醒的故事。作品採用非傳統敘事模式，通過橘子隱喻構建性別議題與身份認同主題，融合女性主義敘事學理論與後現代主義技巧。其藝術特色包含詩化語言、神話重寫，經典語句‘橘子不是唯一的水果’成為核心意象。該小說獲1985年惠特布萊德首作獎，電視劇版本獲英國電影學院獎最佳劇集
