This category lists articles about novels (but not novellas or novelettes; see below) that are set in the BattleTech universe and have been published in print or electronic (EPUB) format.

Definition of "Novel"

For the purpose of this category and in line with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a piece of narrative fiction is generally only considered a "novel" if it has more than 40,000 words.

By contrast, a story is generally held to be a "short story" if it has up to ca. 7,500 words, a "novelette" up to ca. 17,500 words, and a "novella" between ca. 17,500 and 40,000 words; see also: Word count. BattleCorps summarily refers to fiction pieces below 40,000 words as "short fiction", and therefore they are all summarily categorized under Category:Short Stories here on the Sarna BattleTechWiki.

Novels are typically standalone products, although they may be serialized.

Some BattleTech fiction may arbitrarily be categorized as both a short story and a novel at the same time.
