The Moon's a Balloon is a best-selling memoir by British actor David Niven (1910–1983), published in 1971.[1] It details his early life. There have been several editions and many translations of the book over the years. Niven followed it with a sequel Bring on the Empty Horses in 1975.

The book is a funny yet tragic tale, detailing everything from the loss of Niven's father to his natural knowledge of how to lead a good life.

The book is read by the character of Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman/Gene Takovic the Cinnabon Manager on his lunch break during the opening black and white scene of "Better Call Saul" season 3, episode one: "Mabel".
