The Forest of Doom (ISBN 0140316043) is a single player roleplaying gamebook written by Ian Livingstone, illustrated by Malcome Barter and originally published in 1983. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series, numbered 3 in the original Puffin printing and 8 in the Wizard reissuing.
The reader is tasked with retrieving a magical warhammer for the dwarves in the village of Stonebridge. It was separated into two pieces and lost in the depths of Darkwood Forest. The book is considered quite easy by fans; there is no final boss, many of the monsters are unchallenging, and if the player has not retrieved the hammer by the end of the book it is possible to retrace their steps and try again an indefinite number of times.
The book introduced several characters and locations that would recur later on in the series, including the wizard Yaztromo, the dwarven village of Stonebridge and the evil Darkwood Forest.
