Tolkien: Life and Legend is a book encapsulating the 1992 exhibit "Tolkien: Life and Legend" held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England, honoring the centenary of Tolkien's birth. It was published along with a poster; both items are no longer in print currently.

The book gives commentary on the displayed material of the exhibition, showing many photographs, maps of Middle-earth, annotations by Tolkien, artwork, manuscripts of The Lord of the Rings and tales seen in The Silmarillion, et cetera.

Similar to Tolkien: Life and Legend is the later exhibition catalog by the Bodleian, Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth (2018).
