New Writings in SF 26 is an anthology of science fiction short stories edited by Kenneth Bulmer, the fifth volume of nine he oversaw in the New Writings in SF series in succession to the series' originator, John Carnell. It was first published in hardcover by Sidgwick & Jackson in August 1975, followed by a paperback edition issued by Corgi in 1976. The contents of this volume, together with those of volume 29 of the series, were later included in the omnibus anthology New Writings in SF Special 2, issued by Sidgwick & Jackson in 1978.
