Dancing Girls & Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, originally published in 1977 by McClelland & Stewart,[1] Toronto. It was the winner of the St. Lawrence Award for Fiction and the award of The Periodical Distributors of Canada for Short Fiction.

The collection's fourteen stories feature ordinary people, including a farmer, a birdwatcher, an author, a mother and a travel agent, and their inevitably biased perceptions of the world.[2]

Editions based on the revised Simon & Schuster 1982 edition contain the following fourteen stories:

  • "The Man from Mars"
  • "Betty"
  • "Polarities"
  • "Under Glass"
  • "The Grave of the Famous Poet"
