Atomic Spies and Atom Spies are terms that refer to various people in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada who are thought to have illicitly given information about nuclear weapons production or design to the Soviet Union during World War II and the early Cold War.

There was a movement among nuclear scientists to share the information with the world scientific community, but that was firmly quashed by the American government.
