The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories is a science fiction anthology written and edited by Isaac Asimov. Following the usual form for Asimov collections, it consists of eleven short stories and a poem surrounded by commentary describing how each came to be written. The collection was voted 5th in the 1977 Locus Award competition for the Best Author Collection,[2] while the titular novelette won Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Awards for the Best Novelette.

Five of the stories are Robot stories, while one is a Multivac story.

Two of the stories, "Feminine Intuition" and "The Bicentennial Man", were inspired by Judy-Lynn del Rey. The latter was expanded into a novel, The Positronic Man (with Robert Silverberg), which formed the basis of the 1999 Touchstone Pictures and Columbia Pictures film Bicentennial Man.
