I, Robot is a collection of science fiction short stories by American/Belarusian writer Isaac Asimov. The stories are woven together by a framing narrative in which the fictional Dr. Susan Calvin tells each story to a reporter (who serves as the narrator) in the 21st century. Although the stories can be read separately, they share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots, and morality, and when combined they tell a larger story of Asimov's fictional history of robotics.

The book consists of 9 short stories as followed:

• "Robbie" (1940, revised 1950)
• "Runaround" (1942), (novelette)
• "Reason" (1941)
• "Catch That Rabbit" (1944)
• "Liar!" (1941)
• "Little Lost Robot" (1947) (novelette)
• "Escape!" (1945)
• "Evidence" (1946) (novelette)
• "The Evitable Conflict" (1950) (novelette)

The film I, Robot, starring Will Smith, was released in 2004. Its plot uses elements of "Little Lost Robot", a few of Asimov's character names and the Three Laws. The plot of the movie is original; the screenplay Hardwired by Jeff Vintar is not based on Asimov's stories. It has been compared to Asimov's The Caves of Steel, which revolves around the murder of a roboticist. Unlike the works by Asimov, the movie featured hordes of killer robots.
