Science Fiction Inventions is a reprint anthology of science fiction stories, edited by Damon Knight and published by Lancer Books as an original paperback in 1967.

[1] "Private Eye" was originally published under the Lewis Padgett byline.

"Employment" was originally credited to Lyman R.

[2] Algis Budrys praised Science Fiction Inventions as "an excellent book," saying that almost every one of the stories included was "a real landmark sf story, in the especial sense that each of them either originated or first fruited a basic technological idea in such a happy combination with story values that it is impossible to touch that idea again without having to find some totally new framework for it.

"[3] The Hartford Courant found the anthology "a collection of short stories by the masters of the genre, providing a comparison of [their] methods.
