This list of Tangut books comprises a list of manuscript and xylograph texts that are written in the extinct Tangut language and Tangut script. These texts were mostly produced within the Western Xia state (1038–1227) during the 12th and 13th centuries, and include Buddhist sutras and explanatory texts, dictionaries and other philological texts, as well as translations of Chinese books and some original Tangut texts. Some Tangut texts, particularly Buddhist sutras, continued to be produced during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368), after the fall of the Western Xia state, but the Tangut language became extinct sometime during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), and Tangut literature was only rediscovered in the early 20th century. Most of the books listed here were discovered hidden in a stupa outside the city walls of the abandoned Western Xia fortress city of Khara-Khoto in Gansu by Pyotr Kuzmich Kozlov during his expedition of 1907–1909.
