Several Voyages to Barbary is a historical and geographical account of the country, written by Jean Baptiste La Faye and originally published in 1736.

The author provides a vivid description of the people, customs, and landscapes of the region, as well as its history and political situation. La Faye's account is especially noteworthy for its detailed observations of the Barbary pirates, who were notorious for their attacks on European ships and enslavement of their crews. The book also includes maps and illustrations that help to bring the author's experiences to life.
