New Writings in SF 9 is an anthology of science fiction short stories edited by John Carnell, the ninth volume in a series of thirty, of which he edited the first twenty-one. It was first published in hardcover by Dennis Dobson in the United Kingdom in 1966, followed by a paperback edition by Corgi the same year, and an American paperback edition with different contents by Bantam Books in May 1972.

Contents

The United Kingdom edition collects seven novelettes and short stories by various science fiction authors, with a foreword by Carnell. The American edition contains one piece from the UK edition of New Writings in SF 12, three from the UK edition of New Writings in SF 13, two from the UK edition of New Writings in SF 14, and two from the UK edition of New Writings in SF 15.
