Between Peasants: A Dialogue on Anarchy (Italian: Fra Contadini: Dialogo sull'anarchia) is an anarchist dialogue written in 1884 by Errico Malatesta. The work, the most famous of Malatesta's literary productions, presents a conversation between two peasants, Berto and Giorgio, on the topic of anarchy.

In this text, Malatesta develops several aspects of his thought, including his staunch opposition to reformism and his preference for propagandists and anarchists to use simple and comprehensible formulas rather than grand theoretical ideas. The author also defends the concept of use property in place of private property. It has been translated into at least twelve languages.
