Mr. Munchausen: Being a True Account of Some of the Recent Adventures Beyond the Styx of the Late Hieronymus Carl Friedrich, Sometime Baron Munchausen of Bodenwerder, as originally reported for the Sunday Edition of the Gehenna Gazette by its special interviewer the late Mr. Ananias formerly of Jerusalem, and now first transcribed from the columns of that journal by J. K. Bangs is a novel by John Kendrick Bangs, written in the style that has become known as Bangsian fantasy.

It is the third book of Bangs' A House-Boat on the Styx series. Its title is a mockery of the lengthy book and chapter titles prevalent in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a reference to the adventures of the original Baron Münchhausen.

In various library, collectibles, and sales catalogs the title of the book is usually truncated in various ways.
