The Treasury of Science Fiction Classics is an anthology of science fiction stories, edited by Harold E. Kuebler, published in hardcover by Hanover House in 1954 with dust jacket art by Richard Powers. A Science Fiction Book Club edition followed later that year, but the volume has not otherwise been reprinted. J. Francis McComas, writing in The New York Times, panned the anthology as "the most routine of scissors-and-paste jobs, done without any editorial skill whatsoever." P. Schuyler Miller similarly declared "I don't, for the life of me, know who this anthology is for", faulting its editor's selection of "overly familiar," sometimes "archaic" stories.
