{{Short description|none}}
{{Use mdy dates|date=March 2025}}
This is a list of short fiction works by [[Stephen King]] (b. 1947). This includes [[Short story|short stories]], [[Novella|novelette]]s, and [[novella]]s, as well as [[Poetry|poem]]s. It is arranged chronologically by first publication. Major revisions of previously published pieces are also noted. Stephen King is sometimes credited with "nearly 400 short stories" (or a similarly large number).<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/30/books/review/King2-t.html?_r=1 "What Ails the Short Story" by Stephen King]</ref> However, all the known published pieces of short fiction are tabulated below. In all, 217 works are listed. Most of these pieces have been collected in King's seven short story collections: ''[[Night Shift (short story collection)|Night Shift]]'' (1978), ''[[Skeleton Crew (short story collection)|Skeleton Crew]]'' (1985), ''[[Nightmares & Dreamscapes]]'' (1993), ''[[Everything's Eventual]]'' (2002), ''[[Just After Sunset]]'' (2008), ''[[The Bazaar of Bad Dreams]]'' (2015), and ''[[You Like It Darker]]'' (2024); in King's five novella collections: ''[[Different Seasons]]'' (1982), ''[[Four Past Midnight]]'' (1990), ''[[Hearts in Atlantis]]'' (1999), ''[[Full Dark, No Stars]]'' (2010), and ''[[If It Bleeds]]'' (2020); and in the compilation ''[[Secret Windows|Secret Windows: Essays and Fiction on the Craft of Writing]]'' (2000). Some of these pieces, however, remain [[Unpublished and uncollected works by Stephen King|uncollected]].
