Robert Jordan bibliography
Robert Jordan is the pen name of the American author James Rigney Jr.. He used several during his career, though Jordan was by far his most well known. To complicate matters, some reprints later used the more recognisable Jordan name alongside the original pen name in the format "Robert Jordan writing as…" This bibliography presents all works of Rigney's, sorted chronologically by their original pen name.

Some bibliographies incorrectly include Conan: King of Thieves; this was a working title of the second film and therefore also of the novel. The ISBN application was filed before the title revision. Jordan also compiled a well-known Conan chronology; this was printed in the 1987 book Conan the Defiant by Steve Perry.

Other works
- Jordan claimed to have written dance and theatrical criticism under the name Chang Lung in the 1980s. He indicated in 1997 that only he had copies of it.
- Jordan also claimed to have worked as a ghostwriter; specifically for an international intrigue or thriller. He mentioned the book in 1993. The work likely predated The Wheel of Time given that in 2005 he stated he had written nothing else since 1984.
Unpublished works
In 2012, Harriet McDougal donated a large volume of Jordan's material to the special collections of the College of Charleston. The library is in possession of several early unpublished works entitled John One-Eye, Morgan, April the 15th and You're a Nice Man or What Did I Do to Deserve That. These works are accessible to researchers, though some documents in the collection are restricted and will not be available for viewing until thirty years after his death. Among the restricted folders is one entitled "From the Tale of Five Sisters".Jordan's proposed works
In his lifetime, Jordan spoke about several other works he planned on writing after the completion of The Wheel of Times main sequence. As he died before its completion, these works were left unwritten.''The Wheel of Time'' side books
Jordan spoke several times about writing additional works in the setting of The Wheel of Time, but did not leave detailed notes. Brandon Sanderson, who completed the unfinished Wheel of Time conclusion, has ruled out writing these side books, noting it would have gone against Jordan's wishes.''Infinity of Heaven''
In the early 1990s Jordan began discussing his next fantasy trilogy, to follow the completion of The Wheel of Time. It was initially planned as a single book entitled Shipwreck but Jordan later described it as two trilogies, with the second book titled Shipwrecked and the series titled Infinity of Heaven. He said that it would be a Shōgun-esque series about a man in his 30s who is shipwrecked in an unknown culture, which would be similar to Seanchan culture.Jordan stated in 2005 that he had many ideas in his head and a good deal of it planned out but nothing yet on paper. There is a section among Jordan's contract records held by Charleston College marked Infinity of Heaven, dated 2004 and 2009.
