The Wishing-Chair is a series of two novels by the English author Enid Blyton, and a third book published in 2000 compiled from Blyton's short stories. The three children's stories are as follows:

  • Adventures of the Wishing-Chair, 1937 (publ. George Newnes, illustrated by Hilda McGavin)
  • The Wishing-Chair Again, 1950 (publ. George Newnes, illustrated by Hilda McGavin)
  • More Wishing-Chair Stories, 2000 (publ. Mammoth, illustrated by Anthony Lewis)

The first book, Adventures of the Wishing-Chair, has the distinction of being Enid Blyton's first full-length novel — although it is episodic in nature. A TV series was made in 1998 as part of Enid Blytons Enchanted Lands.
