Only Begotten Daughter is a fantasy novel written by James Morrow, setting the stage for his later Godhead Trilogy. The story is about Julie Katz, daughter of God and Messiah, who is spontaneously conceived from a sperm bank donation. Julie struggles with her messianic powers, the mind games of Satan, being hunted by fundamentalists, and the silence of her mother.

This novel is a counter-theodicy similar to the Godhead Trilogy. Also, Only Begotten Daughter refers to God as a female throughout the entire book, producing a jarring effect that causes the reader to realize how deeply entrenched in patriarchy Western religion is.
