X-Men Legends is the title of two comic book series published by Marvel Comics.

The purpose of this title was to print stories that fit between the various X-Men comics continuity, across the past decades. The stories are designed for classic x-writers to add stories to their original runs, including Chris Claremont (Excalibur), Fabian Nicieza (X-Men), Louise Simonson (X-Factor / New Mutants), Peter David (X-Factor), and Larry Hama (Wolverine). Each story states where the writer intended the it to fit within their original run (see table below). Volume 1 debuted in 2021 and ran for 12 issues.

A relaunched Volume 2 was announced in 2022, with a new #1 written by Roy Thomas, featuring Wolverine, set between his first appearance in the pages of Incredible Hulk #180-182 and his X-Men debut in Giant-Sized X-Men #1.
