"Synthetic Men of Mars" is an Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the ninth of his famous "Barsoom" series. It was first published in the newspaper "Argosy Weekly" in six parts in early 1939. The first complete edition of the novel was published in 1940.

One notable aspect of the novel is that it explores potential dangers of cloning and genetic engineering years before these themes became commonplace in science fiction.
