Publishers Weekly list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1910s

This is a list of bestselling novels in the United States in the 1910s, as determined by The Bookman, a New York–based literary journal (1910–1912) and Publishers Weekly (1913 and beyond). The list features the most popular novels of each year from 1910 through 1919.

The standards set for inclusion in the lists – which, for example, led to the exclusion of the novels in the Harry Potter series from the lists for the 1990s and 2000s – are currently unknown.
