The Fall of Númenor and Other Tales from the Second Age of Middle-earth is a volume published by HarperCollins, primarily presenting J.R.R. Tolkien's account of the momentous demise of Númenor in the Second Age of Middle-earth. Edited by Brian Sibley and featuring illustrations by Alan Lee, it was published on November 15, 2022.

Unlike The Fall of Gondolin (2018) and Beren and Lúthien (2017), this book presents one unified account of history - specifically, of the entire Second Age - drawn from all available sources such as the Akallabêth and Appendix B of The Lord of the Rings, as opposed to iterations of a tale. The majority of the text concerns the history of Númenor and its people, and the deeds of Sauron. It finishes with an Appendix chronicling the Third Age, in overview.

The book is the first single-publication containing all canonical accounts of the Second Age.

Over twenty illustrations by Alan Lee are featured throughout, depicting Gil-galad, Orcs, the advance and battles of the Last Alliance, the demise of Ar-Pharazôn's armada, Weathertop, and much else.
