The Pawns of Null-A is a 1956 science fiction novel by American-Canadian writer A. E. van Vogt, originally published as a four-part serial in Astounding Stories from October 1948 to January 1949 as The Players of Null-A. It incorporates concepts from the General semantics of Alfred Korzybski and refers to non-Aristotelian logic. All later US editions have used the original name. The first UK edition was published in 1960 as The Pawns of Null-A, [1] later UK editions have appeared under both titles.

The novel is a continuation of the story of Gilbert Gosseyn from The World of Null-A , expanding on the galactic events which drove the interplanetary invasion of the earlier story.
