Hammer's Slammers is the title of a 1979 collection of military science fiction short stories by author David Drake (and, by extension of the fictional universe in which these and many other of Drake's stories and novels are set). The book focuses on the adventures of a future mercenary company, also called Hammer's Slammers, after their leader, Colonel Alois Hammer.

In many of the Hammer's Slammers universe story, Drake borrows plots from ancient mythology, retelling the story of Jason and the Argonauts in The Voyage, and part of the Odyssey in Cross the Stars, but retells them in a gritty, military fiction style.
