I sommersi e i salvati è un saggio di Primo Levi. Scritto nel 1986, ultimo lavoro dell'autore, è un'analisi dell'universo concentrazionario che l'autore compie partendo dalla personale esperienza di prigioniero del campo di sterminio nazista di Auschwitz e allargando il confronto a esperienze analoghe della storia recente, tra cui i gulag sovietici.
