Earthman's Burden is a collection of science fiction stories by American writers Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson.

The stories involve a teddy bear-like alien race known as Hokas, and spoof a variety of fictional genres.

The other stories originally appeared in the magazines Other Worlds, Universe and Fantasy and Science Fiction.

Floyd C. Gale wrote that the stories in Earthman's Burden were "reasonably amusing.

Under one cover and in company with minor works, though, the cumulative effect is less rewarding ... Hoka, like pickles, is a tasty appetizer in moderation, but leaves a characteristic aftertaste if overindulged".
