"A Rose for Ecclesiastes" is one of Roger Zelazny's early stories, first published in the November 1963 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction with a special wraparound cover painting by Hannes Bok. It was subsequently reprinted in the The Doors of His Face, The Lamp of His Mouth, and Other Stories collection.

It is one of his best regarded early stories and as such was reprinted in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume I. It concerns a religion of fatalism on Mars. The title alludes to the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes.
