Nine Tomorrows is a collection of nine short stories and two pieces of comic verse by Isaac Asimov. The pieces were all originally published in magazines between 1956 and 1958, with the exception of the closing poem, Rejection Slips, which was original to the collection. The book was first published in the USA in 1959 and in the UK in 1963. It includes two of Asimov's favourite stories, "The Last Question" and "The Ugly Little Boy".

Nine Tomorrows has been reprinted several times. The most recent publication appears to be a 1987 Del Ray reissue; ISBN 0-345-34604-1.
