Mental Radio is a book written by Upton Sinclair in 1930. The book documents Sinclair's test of psychic abilities of his second wife, Mary Craig Sinclair, while she was in a state of profound depression with a heightened interest in the occult . Sinclair claimed that Mary successfully duplicated 65 of the 290 pictures drawn by her brother, with 155 "partial successes" and 70 failures . The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the experiments that Sinclair conducted with his wife, while the second part contains an analysis of the results by Walter Franklin Prince, a psychical researcher . Prince believed that telepathy had been demonstrated in Sinclair's data .

The book has been described as a highly unsatisfactory account of conditions surrounding the clairvoyancy tests . Martin Gardner, a skeptic, wrote that Sinclair has been a gullible victim of mediums and psychics throughout his entire life . Gardner also wrote that the possibility of sensory leakage during the experiment had not been ruled out . In the first place, an intuitive wife, who knows her husband intimately, may be able to guess with a fair degree of accuracy what he is likely to draw—particularly if the picture is related to some freshly recalled event the two experienced in common. At first, simple pictures like chairs and tables would likely predominate, but as these are exhausted, the field of choice narrows and pictures are more likely to be suggested by recent experiences. It is also possible that Sinclair may have given conversational hints during some of the tests—hints which in his strong will to believe, he would promptly forget about. Also, one must not rule out the possibility that in many tests, made across the width of a room, Mrs. Sinclair may have seen the wiggling of the top of a pencil, or arm movements, which would convey to her unconscious a rough notion of the drawing .

Despite the criticisms, the book has been praised for its writing abilities. The German edition included a preface written by Albert Einstein who admired the book .
