"Llana of Gathol" is an Edgar Rice Burroughs science fiction novel, the tenth of his famous "Barsoom" series. It consists of four stories that were originally published in "Amazing Stories" in 1941: "The Ancient Dead" (originally "The City of Mummies"), "The Black Pirates of Barsoom", "Escape on Mars" and "Invisible Men of Mars." The first collected edition of "Llana of Gathol" was published in 1948. It is the penultimate book in the "Barsoom" series and the last to be published during Burroughs's lifetime.

The stories in this collection revolve around John Carter's granddaughter Llana of Gathol, who plays the "damsel in distress" role played by Dejah Thoris and Thuvia in earlier entries of the "Barsoom" series.

The stories in "Llana of Gathol" have a somewhat more humorous tone than earlier entries of the "Barsoom" series, and this book is considered to be an example of Edgar Rice Burroughs engaging in self-parody late in his career.
