A Nightmare on Elm Street: Suffer the Children is a 2005 British horror novel written by David Bishop and published by Black Flame. A tie-in to the Nightmare on Elm Street series of American horror films, it is the first in a series of five A Nightmare on Elm Street novels that were published by Black Flame, and involves a group of teenagers who, after taking part in an anti-insomnia drug trial, find themselves being terrorized by the supernatural killer Freddy Krueger.

Reception
Writing for The Boar, Reece Goodall criticized the book for having "very predictable" kills and expressed frustration over the cliffhanger ending, but otherwise found the novel to be a "solid read" with "generally good" characterization and a "well-written" Freddy Krueger. In a review that was written for Rue Morgue, Joel Harley felt that the book's characters were "well-drawn and distinct" and that the novel was a "faithful working" of the source material, but also opined that the dream sequences being so "grounded" was a "missed opportunity in the limitless budget afforded by the medium" and that, when it came to Freddy Krueger, author David Bishop struggled to "find the character's voice" even if he did succeed in "making Freddy scary again."
