Kitab kuning adalah istilah yang disematkan pada kitab-kitab berbahasa Arab, yang biasa digunakan di banyak pesantren sebagai bahan pelajaran. Dinamakan kitab kuning karena kertasnya berwarna kuning.

Bahkan kitab-kitab itu seringkali tidak dijilid, melainkan hanya dilipat saja dan diberi cover dengan kertas yang lebih tebal.

Sampai hari ini sebenarnya kitab kuning masih ada dijual di toko-toko kitab tertentu. Sebab pangsa pasarnya pun masih ada, meski sudah jauh berkurang dengan masa lalu. Yang menarik, harganya pun sangat bersaing. Bayangkan, kitab-kitab itu hanya dijual dengan harga Rp 5.000-an saja hingga Rp 10.000, tergantung ketebalannya. Padahal isinya tidak kurang ilmiyah dan bagus dari buku-buku mahal yang berharga jutaan. Kalau dibandingkan dengan cetakan modern, uang segitu hanya bisa buat beli buku saku tipis sekali.

Mulai dari masalah aqidah, tata bahasa Arab, ilmu tafsir, ilmu hadits, imu ushul fiqih, ilmu fiqih, ilmu sastra bahkan sampai cerita dan hikayat yang tercampur dengan dongeng.
