Authors are still producing original books in Latin today. This page lists contemporary or recent books (from the 21st, 20th and 19th centuries) originally written in Latin. These books are not called "new" because the term Neo-Latin or New Latin refers to books written as early as the 1500s, which is "newer" than Classical Antiquity or the Middle Ages.

Translations of pre-existing modern literature are not included here.
