"Gods of Riverworld" (1983) is a science fiction novel, the fifth and last in the series of Riverworld books by Philip José Farmer. It was reprinted in 1998 by Del Rey under the title "The Gods of Riverworld".

This book concludes the chronicles of the adventures of such diverse characters as Sir Richard Burton, Cyrano de Bergerac, Alice Pleasance Liddell, Tom Mix and Samuel Clemens through a bizarre afterlife in which every human ever to have lived is simultaneously resurrected along a single river valley that stretches over an entire planet.

Although Farmer's 1980 novel "The Magic Labyrinth" was intended to end the seriesFact|date=August 2008, Farmer returns to continue the story, in which the main characters have arrived at the alien-built tower at the headwaters and must decide how to use the resurrection machinery they now control, and also solve the mystery of the murder of the mysterious stranger.
