The Star Wars Encyclopedia is a 1998 reference book published by Del Rey Books and written by Stephen J. Sansweet, the director of content management at Lucasfilm and science fiction author. It was intended to bring together the wealth of information about the Star Wars universe which had up until that point been published in separate sources, and according to Sansweet was based upon A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded and first generation of the Essential Guide books.

In 2008, it was updated and superseded by The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia.
