The UNESCO Collection of Representative Works (Engl. UNESCO Collection of Representative Works or UNESCO Catalog of Representative Works ; fr. Collection UNESCO d'oeuvres Representatives ) was a translation project of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( English United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization , UNESCO ), which was carried out from 1948 to 2005.

The aim of the project was to translate masterpieces of world literature mainly from lesser-used languages ​​into widely-used languages ​​such as English, French, Spanish and Arabic. Originally, the project was set up in 1948 to translate Arabic works into the aforementioned Western languages ​​and Western works into Arabic. In 1949 this was extended to Latin American literature , in 1950 to Italian and Persian works, and in 1952 to Chinese , Indian and Japanese literature .

By 2005, when the project closed, 1060 translations had appeared.
