Ballantine Books is a publisher. It was founded in 1952 by Ian and Betty Ballantine. It was acquired by Random House in 1973.

In 1969 Ballantine initiated the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series edited by Lin Carter. This reprinted several rare titles, some considered "classics". It also included the first books in Katherine Kurtz's Deryni series. Ballantine published the "authorized" paperback edition of the (revised) second edition of Tolkein's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.
