"An Outline Dictionary of Maya Glyphs, With a Concordance and Analysis of Their Relationships" is a study of the Maya script by William E. Gates based on the Madrid, Dresden and Paris codices, first published in 1931. It has since been superseded by Günther Zimmermann's "Die Hieroglyphen der Maya-Handschriften" (1956), and J. Eric S. Thompson's "A Catalogue of Maya Hieroglyphs" (1962).

The original edition was limited to 207 copies. The book was subsequently reprinted by Dover in 1978, and by Kessinger in 2003.
