Dragons, Elves, and Heroes is an anthology of fantasy short stories, edited by Lin Carter. It was first published in paperback by Ballantine Books in October 1969 as the sixth volume of its celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series. It was the first such anthology assembled by Carter for the series, issued simultaneously with the second, The Young Magicians.

The book collects nineteen early fantasy tales and poems by various authors, with an overall introduction and notes by Carter. Most of the pieces are Medieval in date, and none later than the nineteenth century. The anthology is a companion volume to Carter's subsequent Golden Cities, Far (1970), which also collects early fantasies.
