Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-born American author who graduated from the University of California with a PhD in Anthropology. Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, he wrote a series of contoversial books that purported to describe his training in traditional Mesoamerican shamanism. Initially his books were considered works of anthropology, but five years after the first book was published, people such as Joyce Carol Oates began to question whether they weren't in fact fiction. Castaneda never provided any field notes and no professional has ever met the individuals about whom he wrote.

Castaneda was very protective of his privacy and until recently little was known about him outside what we learned from his twelve books. He rarely spoke in public except toward the end of his life, and he gave very few interviews.

Since those early days when Joyce Carol Oates called his writings into question academics, concluding that his books were fiction, have written about the inconsistencies in his work, citing the books' internal contradictions, discrepancies between the books and anthropological data, alternate sources for Castaneda's detailed knowledge of shamanic practices, and the lack of corroborating evidence. While today his publisher Simon & Schuster still publishes his books as non-fiction, it is generally acknowledged that there is little evidence to suggest that Castaneda's books were the result of actual field work with a Mesoamerican shaman as he originally claimed.

This bibliography is a listing of books and other works produced by Castaneda including interviews and interview based articles written about him. In addition this bibliography lists biographical works, critical works that examine his writing, associated works by his peers or on related topics that help put Castaneda's work in context, a listing of works by authors who Castenada claims also trained by his teacher don Juan, and finally, works by authors who have extended the philosophical ideas presented by Castaneda.
