The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives (ISBN 0-465-02726-1) is one of the major works of Zbigniew Brzezinski, former United States National Security Advisor under the administration of President Jimmy Carter. The Grand Chessboard presents Brzezinski’s geostrategic vision for American preeminence in the twenty-first century. He focuses much of his analysis on the geostrategy of United States in Central Asia, focusing on the exercise of power on the Eurasian landmass in a post-Soviet environment.

This is the book from which the song, "United States of Eurasia", from the Muse album "The Resistance", is said to be based upon, along with influences from George Orwell's book "Nineteen Eighty Four".
