The Stories of Ray Bradbury is an anthology containing 100 short stories by American writer Ray Bradbury, first published by Knopf in 1980. The hundred stories, written from 1943 to 1980, were selected by the author. Bradbury's work had previously been collected in various compilations, such as The Martian Chronicles and The October Country , but never in such a large volume (912 pages) or spanning such a long period of time.

In 2003, Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales was published, containing a further 100 stories from later in his career. The two anthologies have entirely different contents.
