Chapbook adalah sebuah jenis sastra jalanan yang dicetak di Eropa modern awal. Berharga murah, chapbook umumnya berbentuk buklet kecil yang dilapisi kertas, biasanya dicetak pada lembar tunggal yang berisi 8, 12, 16 dan 24 halaman. Karya tersebut sering kali diilustrasikan dengan cukil kayu, yang terkadang tak memiliki hubungan dengan teksnya. Saat ilustrasi dicantumkan dalam chapbook, ilustrasi tersebut dianggap menjadi cetakan populer.
