Brian's Return is a 1999 wilderness survival novel written by Gary Paulsen and the fourth novel in the Hatchet series.

It was also released as Hatchet: The Call by Macmillan Children's Books in the UK on January 8, 1999. This was originally supposed to be the final Hatchet book in the series, but hundreds of readers asked Paulsen to make one more. So in response, he published Brian's Hunt in 2003.
