The Birthday of the World and Other Stories is a collection of short fiction by American writer Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in March 2002 by HarperCollins. Each of the stories, except "Paradises Lost", had previously been published elsewhere. The title story was the most recently published, in 2000. Only these two stories are not set on planets of the Ekumen league.
The collection was also published in London by Gollancz (an imprint of the Orion Group) in 2003. A softcover edition was published by Perennial that same year.
