El vampiro (en inglés: The Vampyre) es un relato escrito por John William Polidori, el creador del género del vampiro romántico. Lo escribió en la ciudad de Ginebra en el que fue el año sin verano: en las famosas y tormentosas noches del 16 al 19 de junio de 1816. La obra surgió en la Villa Diodati, donde se hallaba Polidori con Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, y la hermanastra de ésta Claire Clairmont. La Villa Diodati era considerada por Mary Shelley como un lugar culturalmente sagrado, en donde habían estado escritores como John Milton, Rousseau y Voltaire. La noche del 16 o el 17 de junio de 1816, se pusieron a leer un libro perteneciente a Polidori llamado Fantasmagoriana, que contenía leyendas alemanas de fantasmas, y se pusieron todos de acuerdo para escribir cada cual una historia de terror; pero los únicos que terminaron el desafío fueron Mary Shelley, que ideó el argumento para su obra Frankenstein, y el propio Polidori con el relato El vampiro. Además, en las mismas noches en Villa Diodati, Byron llegó a esbozar su relato inacabado llamado El entierro, que cuenta de forma muy parecida la primera parte de El vampiro, además de ampliar el tercer canto de su libro Las peregrinaciones de Childe Harold.
