I Who Have Never Known Men, originally published in French as Moi qui n'ai pas connu les hommes, is a 1995 science fiction novel by Belgian author Jacqueline Harpman. It is the first of Harpman's novels to be translated into English. It was originally published by Seven Stories Press, then republished by Avon Eos.
The New York Times described it as "bleak but fascinating", and "about as heavyhearted as fiction can get". Kirkus Reviews compared it to the Handmaid's Tale, and said that it is "thin", but "moving" and "powerful".
