"King Conan" is a collection of five fantasy short stories written by Robert E. Howard featuring his seminal sword and sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian, first published in hardcover by Gnome Press in 1953. The stories originally appeared in the 1930s in the fantasy magazine "Weird Tales". The collection never saw publication in paperback; instead, its component stories were split up and distributed among other "Conan" collections.

Contents:
*"Jewels of Gwahlur"
*"Beyond the Black River"
*"The Treasure of Tranicos"
*"The Phoenix on the Sword"
*"The Scarlet Citadel"

Chronologically, the five short stories collected as "King Conan" are the fourth in Gnome's Conan series; the novel "Conan the Conqueror" follows.
