Sejarah Kemunduran dan Kejatuhan Kekaisaran Romawi

Sejarah Kemunduran dan Kejatuhan Kekaisaran Romawisometimes shortened to Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire adalah sebuah buku sejarah yang ditulis oleh sejarawan Inggris Edward Gibbon, yang membahas peradaban Barat (serta penaklukan Islamis dan Mongolia) dari puncak Kekaisaran Romawi sampai kejatuhan Bizantium. Buku tersebut diterbitkan dalam enam volume. Volume I diterbitkan pada 1776 dan dicetak ulang enam kali. Volume II dan III diterbitkan pada 1781; volume IV, V, dan VI pada 1788–89. Volume-volume aslinya diterbutkan dalam bentuk kuarto, sebuah praktik penerbitan umum pada masa tersebut. Karya tersebut menyoroti sejarah, dari 98 sampai 1590, dari Kekaisaran Romawi, sejarah gereja perdana dan kemudian Gereja Negara Romawi, dan sejarah Eropa, dan mendiskusikan kehancuran Kekaisaran Romawi di timur dan Barat. Karena obyektivitas relatifnya dan sangat menggunakan sumber-sumber primer, yang tak lazim pada waktu itu, metodologinya menjadi sebuah model untuk sejarawan-sejarawan berikutnya. Karya tersebut membuat Gibbon disebut "sejarawan Romawi kuno modern" pertama.
