World Book Encyclopedia (WBE) est une encyclopédie imprimée américaine. L'encyclopédie couvre les principaux domaines de connaissances de manière uniforme, mais elle montre la force particulière dans les matières scientifiques, techniques et médicales.

Basée à Chicago, la première édition de 1917 contenait huit volumes. Les nouvelles éditions ont paru depuis, chaque année, sauf en 1920, 1924 et 1932, avec des révisions majeures en 1929 (13 volumes), 1947 (19 volumes), 1960 (20 volumes) et 1988 (nouvelle police de caractères et conception des pages différentes).
