"The Unvanquished" is a novel by the American author William Faulkner, set in Yoknapatawpha County. It tells the story of the Sartoris family, who first appeared in the novel "Sartoris" (or "Flags in the Dust"). "The Unvanquished" takes place before that story, and is set during the American Civil War.

"The Unvanquished" was first published as a whole in 1938, but consists of seven short stories, which were originally published separately in "The Saturday Evening Post", except where noted:
*"Ambuscade" (September 29, 1934)
*"Retreat" (October 13, 1934)
*"Raid" (November 3, 1934)
*"Drusilla" (titled "Skirmish at Sartoris" in the novel), published in "Scribner's" (April, 1935)
*"The Unvanquished" (namesake for the novel, in which it is titled "Riposte in Tertio") (November 14, 1936)
*"Vendée" (December 5, 1936)
*"An Odor of Verbena" (never published outside the novel prior to its release)
