Norstrilia is a science fiction novel by American writer Paul Linebarger, published under the pseudonym Cordwainer Smith. It takes place in Smith's Instrumentality of Mankind universe. It was heavily influenced by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. It is in part a sequel to Smith's 1962 short story "The Ballad of Lost C'Mell", featuring some of the same characters and settings. Norstrilia was first published in single-book form in 1975, after appearing earlier as two short novels in 1964 and 1968.
