"The Sword of Conan" is a collection of four fantasy short stories written by Robert E. Howard featuring his seminal sword and sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian, first published in hardcover by Gnome Press in 1952. The stories originally appeared in the 1930s in the fantasy magazine "Weird Tales". The collection never saw publication in paperback; instead, its component stories were split up and distributed among other "Conan" collections.

Contents:
*"The People of the Black Circle"
*"The Slithering Shadow"
*"The Pool of the Black One"
*"Red Nails"

Chronologically, the four short stories collected as "The Sword of Conan" are the third in Gnome's Conan series; the stories collected as "King Conan" follow.
