S.F. Masterworks is a series of science fiction novel reprints published by the Orion Publishing Group. The series is intended for the United Kingdom and Australian markets, but many editions are distributed to the United States and Canada by Hachette.
Developed to feature important science fiction novels, the selections were described by science fiction author Iain M. Banks as "amazing" and "genuinely the best novels from sixty years of SF".[1] Many of the selected novels had been out of print in the United Kingdom for decades.
Its companion series include Fantasy Masterworks and Gateway Essentials.
