Waiting for Sheila is a 1976 novel by the British writer John Braine.

Julian Barnes wrote a scathing review of the novel in the New Statesman, leading Braine to respond in a letter in which he attacked Barnes saying "I'm not going to be reproved for materialism by a thoroughgoing middle-class materialist".[1]
