Methuen Publishing Ltd (/ˈmɛθjuən/; also known as Methuen Books) is an English publishing house.
It was founded in 1889 by Sir Algernon Methuen (1856–1924) and began publishing in London in 1892. Initially, Methuen mainly published non-fiction academic works, eventually diversifying to encourage female authors and later translated works. E. V. Lucas headed the firm from 1924 to 1938.
