Paradise Lust: Searching for the Garden of Eden is a 2011 book by Brook Wilensky-Lanford that discusses efforts to locate the Garden of Eden.

Wilensky-Lanford writes that more people began to search for the garden to reassert the truth of the Bible after the advent of Darwinism. The book focuses on 20th-century individuals who have sought to locate the garden.^[1] Wilensky-Lanford profiles several individuals who have discussed the location of the garden, including William Fairfield Warren and the author(s) of The Urantia Book.^[2] Paradise Lust also discusses the work of archaeologist Juris Zarins.^[3]

Associated Press writer Carl Hartman applauded the book as "witty and exhaustively researched", though he notes that the title could confuse readers. (Wilensky-Lanford chose the book's title as a reference to Paradise Lost by John Milton, not to indicate sexual content.)^[3] Writing in The New York Times, Andrea Wulf praised the book as an "enjoyable parade of oddities" that is an "appealing mix of serious research and tongue-in-cheek humor", but noted that it occasionally felt like a repetitive list of bizarre characters.^[2]
