The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is an upcoming booster-based product in the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond series. The set will be released on June 23, 2023.

This is a cross-over product based on the The Lord of the Rings, the epic high fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. It was created in close cooperation with Middle-earth Enterprises, the firm which owns the rights. Hasbro, the mother company of Wizards of the Coast, has earlier published a board game based on the same franchise. The cards in this set feature the triangular holofoil stamp of non-canon cards.

Like all Universes Beyond products, the set will not be legal in Standard. There are no Planeswalker cards in the set. According to Blake Rasmussen, this is because "there aren't any Planeswalkers in Lord of the Rings".
