The Empire Strikes Back Coloring Book was a series of children's coloring books published by Kenner in 1980, featuring artwork by Rick Hoberg. Four of these books were released in that year, with different cover photos and content, but with the same title. Some versions with French titles were released in Canada. A second series was published in 1982.

The version of the book featuring Lando Calrissian, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca on the cover includes one of the earliest (if not the earliest) published appearances of background characters Wiorkettle and Treva Horme, who were mostly seen in behind the scenes and promotional set photographs.
