This is a bibliography of works about the history of the 1918 influenza pandemic. This bibliography is limited to history and excludes other disciplines unless they contain a substantial amount of history.

The 1918–1920 flu pandemic, also known as the Great Influenza epidemic or by the misleading name Spanish flu, was an exceptionally deadly global influenza pandemic caused by the H1N1 subtype of the influenza A virus.[4] The earliest probable cases were recorded in March 1918 in Haskell County, Kansas, United States, and further cases followed in April in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. By 1920, about 500 million people, nearly a third of the world's population, had been infected.[5] Death toll estimates range from 17 million to 50 million and may be as high as 100 million, making it one of the deadliest pandemics in history.[6]

Bibliography contains academic level English language books (including translations) and journal articles, published mainly post World War II.[b] Book entries may have references to reviews published in academic journals or major newspapers when these could be considered helpful. These reference reviews also function as a resource to find other works on this subject.

Works listed here are cited in the notes or bibliographies of scholarly sources. Each is published by an academic or major trade press, written by a recognized expert, or substantially reviewed in scholarly journals; borderline cases are omitted. A selection of primary sources are included. Many of the books below carry their own bibliographies; see Further reading section for longer ones, and External links section for historical sites and museums.

Citations follow APA style.[c] Books have citations to academic journal or mainstream published reviews when available. For books only partly about the subject, relevant chapter or section titles are provided when useful and available. Translators of the original-language edition are included when possible. In cases where a title or name has appeared with more than one English spelling, the most recent published form is used and a footnote documents any earlier title under which the work appeared.
