The Awakening is a novel by Kate Chopin, published in 1899. The novel examines the smothering effects of late 19th-century social structures upon a woman whose simple desire is to fulfill her own potential and live her own life.

The Awakening is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was originally broadcast in two parts on January 19 and January 20, 1984.

"The Awakening" is a 100-foot statue of a giant embedded in the earth, struggling to free himself. It was created by J. Seward Johnson, Jr. and installed at Hains Point (East Potomac Park), Washington, D.C. in 1980 for the International Sculpture Conference Exhibition.

The Awakening is the third album from Hip Hop artist Lord Finesse, released four years after his sophomore album Return of the Funky Man. Unlike his first two albums, The Awakening features a large number of album guests, including O.C., KRS-One, MC Lyte, Akinyele, Showbiz, Diamond D, A.G., Kid Capri, Brand Nubian's Grand Puba and Sadat X, and Large Professor. The album features the single "Hip 2 Da Game" and the hidden track "Actual Facts".

The Awakening is the sixth episode of the fourth season of Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
