The Dragnet Solar Pons et al. is a collection of detective short stories by author August Derleth. It was released in 2011 by Battered Silicon Dispatch Box. It is a collection of Derleth's Solar Pons stories which are pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes tales of Arthur Conan Doyle.

These are the original versions of the stories as they appeared in Dragnet magazine, Detective Trails magazine, Gangster Stories magazine, and original unpublished manuscripts. Notes by Mark Wardecker compare the text of the stories to the later, anthologized versions and point out parallels to the Sherlock Holmes stories.

This collection was recommended (but not shortlisted) for a 2012 British Fantasy Award.[1]

Mark Wardecker edited a revised and expanded edition of this book that was published by Belanger Books in 2023: The Arrival of Solar Pons: Manuscripts and Pulp Magazine Appearances of the Sherlock Holmes of Praed Street.
