"Swords & Spells" is a supplementary rulebook by Gary Gygax for the original edition of the "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy role-playing game. It was published by TSR, Inc. in 1976, the fifth and final supplement to the original "Dungeons & Dragons" boxed set, and can be referred to as "Supplement V", with supplements "Greyhawk" and "Blackmoor" having been released in the previous year, and "Eldritch Wizardry" and "Gods, Demi-gods & Heroes" released previously in the same year. It does not, however, bear the official "Supplement V" designation on the cover, as "Gods, Demi-gods & Heroes" is stated in its introduction to be "the last D&D supplement."Kuntz & Ward. Gods, Demi-Gods, & Heroes, Foreward. TSR Rules, 1976.]

"Swords & Spells"' product designation was TSR 2007.

The 45-page "Swords & Spells" has been billed as "The fantasy-based successor to "Chainmail"," and indeed is stated within the text to be "the grandson of CHAINMAIL." "Swords & Spells" proved unpopular, and its rules were discarded in later editions of "D&D".
