Multiple Choice (Spanish: Facsímil, lit. 'Facsimile') is a novel published by the Chilean author Alejandro Zambra in 2014. Megan McDowell's English translation was published by Penguin Books in 2016.

Called both a work of parody and poetry, Multiple Choice examines the role of the education system and standardized testing in promoting compliance to authoritarian rule.
