The Last of the Tasmanians; or, The Black War of Van Diemen's Land is an 1870 work of history and anthropology by James Bonwick which chronicles and attempts to explain the demographic decline of the aboriginal Tasmanians in the face of European settlement in the 19th century.

[1] The book is illuminated with numerous illustrations and coloured engravings.

A plagiarised edition of Bonwick's work was printed at Sydney by the Shakespeare Head Press in 1973 and attributed to Michael David Davies.

The prose was slightly modernised and the work concluded with a new chapter by Davies which speculated on the origins of the indigenous Tasmanians.
