Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels have been published since 1998 by Pocket Books. Authors who have written original novels include Mel Odom, Christopher Golden, and Nancy Holder.

To date, the majority of Buffy novels have not had their canonical status confirmed. Most fans do not consider them to be official parts of canon. However, unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising the basic story of each novel (written early in the writing process) were approved by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), thereby allowing the books to be published as "official Buffy/Angel merchandise."
