"Pirates of Venus" is the first book in the Venus series (Sometimes called the "Carson Napier of Venus series") by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the last major series in Burroughs's career (The other major series were the Tarzan, Barsoom, and Pellucidar series). It was first serialized in six parts in "Argosy" in 1932 and published in book form two years later.

The novel is set on a fictional version of planet Venus called Amtor that has similarities to Barsoom, Burroughs's fictionalized version of planet Mars.
