X-Wing: The Official Strategy Guide is a computer game strategy book for Star Wars: X-Wing written by Rusel DeMaria, David Wessman, and David Maxwell and published by Prima Games. It contains much of the story from The Farlander Papers and continues the story of Keyan Farlander throughout, along with walkthroughs and strategies designed to help players defeat the simulator missions, the missions for the game's first three Tours of Duty, and interviews with the game's creators and design team.

A subsequent edition, X-Wing Collector's CD-ROM: The Official Strategy Guide, reprinted the original material and added walkthroughs for the Imperial Pursuit and B-Wing expansion packs.
