This is a select bibliography of Post World War II books and journal articles about Martin Van Buren (December 5, 1782 – July 24, 1862), an American statesman who served as the eighth president of the United States from 1837 to 1841.

He was a founder of the Democratic Party, and served in multiple offices from New York state, including governor, United States Senator, state attorney general, and state senator. Nationally he served under President Andrew Jackson as Minister to Great Britain, United States Secretary of State, and was elected as Vice President of the United States for Jackson's second term. He was elected as the 8th president of the United States in 1836, but lost his 1840 reelection bid to Whig Party nominee William Henry Harrison. Later in life, Van Buren emerged as an elder statesman and an important anti-slavery leader, who led the Free Soil Party ticket in the 1848 presidential election.

Books are published by scholarly presses or are reviewed favorably in academic journals. There have been relatively few full-length biographies written about Van Buren; however, works about events closely related to his presidency contain significant information about Van Buren. This bibliography includes a selection of Van Buren's papers and messages along with archival collections available online but does not include newspaper articles or pamphlets. The Further Reading section contains books with additional bibliographies on the life and career of Van Buren. This bibliography uses APA style citations.
