The Unvanquished (ISBN 0-679-73652-2) is a novel by William Faulkner, set in Yoknapatawpha County. It tells the story of the Sartoris family, who first appeared in the novel Sartoris (or Flags in the Dust). The Unvanquished takes place before that story, and is set during the American Civil War.

- Ambuscade (September 29, 1934)
- Retreat (October 13, 1934)
- Raid (November 3, 1934)
- Drusilla (titled Skirmish at Sartoris in the novel), published in Scribner's (April, 1935)
- The Unvanquished (namesake for the novel, in which it is titled Riposte in Tertio) (November 14, 1936)
- Vendée (December 5, 1936)
- An Odor of Verbena (never published outside the novel)
