This list contains novels (and other book-length works), short stories, poetry, and story treatments by Lawrence Watt-Evans that are clearly in the fantasy genre. In some cases, works that are arguably fantasy have been listed under science fiction or horror instead; I apologize for any confusion that may result. Within each of the four categories here stories are listed by series, if any, and non-series material, or stuff with no internal order, is then arranged alphabetically. Comic books are not included here.
