"The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories" is a science fiction anthology written and edited by Isaac Asimov (ISBN 0-385-12198-9). Following the usual form for Asimov collections, it consists of eleven short stories and a poem surrounded by commentary describing how each came to be written. The stories are as follows (original publication in parentheses):

* "The Prime of Life" ("F&SF", October 1966)
* "Feminine Intuition" ("F&SF", October 1969)
* "Waterclap" ("Galaxy", May 1970)
* "—That Thou art Mindful of Him" ("F&SF", May 1974)
* "Stranger In Paradise" ("If", May-June 1974)
* "The Life and Times of Multivac" ("New York Times Magazine", 5 January 1975)
* "The Winnowing" (Analog, February 1976)
* "The Bicentennial Man" (Judy-Lynn del Rey, ed., "Stellar Science Fiction #2", February 1976)
* "Marching In" ("High Fidelity", April 1976)
* "Old-fashioned" ("Bell Telephone Magazine", February 1976)
* "The Tercentenary Incident" ("Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine", August 1976)
* "Birth of a Notion" ("Amazing Stories", April 1976)

Two of the stories, "Feminine Intuition" and "The Bicentennial Man", were inspired by Judy-Lynn del Rey. The latter was expanded into a novel, "The Positronic Man" (with Robert Silverberg), which formed the basis of the 1999 Touchstone Pictures film "Bicentennial Man".
