Paul Morphy and the Evolution of Chess Theory is a 368-page chess book by Macon Shibut, published by Dover in 2004. It uses Algebraic (AN) notation and focuses on the games and positions of Paul Morphy, one of the best chess players of the nineteenth century.

It also discusses Adolph Anderssen and Wilhelm Steinitz, Morphy's rare blunders and omissions, and selected endgames and openings. Included are a 27-page essay on Morphy by Steinitz and letters between Alexander Alekhine and Eugene Znosko-Borovsky debating Morphy's chess style.
