Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia is an encyclopedia published in the United States. Currently in a three volume 10th edition, it was published in two volumes for editions 6 to 9. The 8th edition is available as two CD ROMs.

The first edition was published in 1938 by the D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc.[2][3] From about 1976 the encyclopedia was published by the Van Nostrand Reinhold Company.[4] From the late 1990s it was published by John Wiley and Sons and by Wiley-Interscience.

More than 4,000 pages long, the work provides a thorough scientific reference, while establishing a midpoint between massive multi-volume science encyclopedias and handheld reference books.

This work is sometimes compared to the McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Science & Technology.
