Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource for the Transgender Community is a 2014 non-fiction book published by Oxford University Press. Edited by psychiatrist Laura Erickson-Schroth, it covers health and wellness for transgender people. It was a 27th Lambda Literary Awards finalist in the Transgender Non-Fiction category and won a 2015 Achievement Award from GLMA: Healthcare Professionals for LGBT Equality.

The project was inspired by the women's health book Our Bodies, Ourselves. The editor put out a call for submissions in 2011. Each section was written under the guidance of expert advisors. The foreword is by author Jennifer Finney Boylan.

The book received generally positive reviews, including in peer-reviewed journals focusing on gender and health. It also received positive coverage in the mainstream press. Jessica Grose wrote in New Republic that the anthology is "brimming with straightforward information about living a life as a gender-nonconforming person in the United States." It was named to several top-ten lists for 2014.
