Narrow Roads of Gene Land is the trilogy of books containing the collected papers of the British evolutionary biologist W.D. Hamilton, together with essays on the papers. They three volumes are subtitled 1. Evolution of Social Behaviour, 2. Evolution of Sex, 3. Last Words. Hamilton, his research often inspired by Ronald Fisher, took inspiration from The Collected Papers of R.A. Fisher. The title is a reference to Oku no Hosomichi (奥の細道/おくの細道?) by Matsuo Bashō.

Hamilton died in 2000 before completing essays for the third and final book, so the accompanying essays are instead written by his coauthors. This volume also includes his obituary which appeared in the Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society, by Alan Grafen.
