Many Inventions is a collection of short stories by Rudyard Kipling. Twelve of the 14 stories appeared previously in various publications including The Atlantic Monthly and the Strand Magazine.

The title refers to a verse from Ecclesiastes which is quoted on the title page: "Lo this only have I found that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." (Ecclesiastes 7:29)

The fourteen stories are preceded by a poem "To the True Romance" and followed by another poem "Anchor Song".
