Nine Stories is an English-language collection of stories written in Russian, French, and English by Vladimir Nabokov. It was published in 1947 by New Directions in New York City, as the second issue of a serial, Direction.

The nine stories are:

• "The Aurelian" (a translation by Nabokov and Peter Pertzov of "Pil'gram")
• "Cloud, Castle, Lake" (a translation by Nabokov and Peter Pertzov of "Oblako, ozero, bashnia")
• "Spring in Fialta" (a translation by Nabokov and Peter Pertzov of "Vesna v Fialte")
• "Mademoiselle O" (a translation by VN with Hilda Ward from the French)
• "A Forgotten Poet"
• "The Assistant Producer"
• "That in Aleppo Once..."
• "Time and Ebb"
• "Double Talk" (retitled "Conversation Piece 1945" in Nabokov's Dozen and later)

No further edition of the book was ever published; all nine stories subsequently reappeared in Nabokov's Dozen, and much later in The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov.
