Fingersmith is a 2002 Victorian crime fiction novel by Sarah Waters.

Fingersmith was a BBC mini-series televised in 2005. The story follows the meeting of two very different young women and what madness ensues. The series is set during England's Victorian era.

A fingersmith is a person of extreme talent in any skill involving the use of hands. Just as a wordsmith uses words as his art, and as a blacksmith uses metal, a handsmith uses his hands. This term is most often used to refer to an extremely talented thief who has never been caught.
