The Extractive Industries Source Book is a World Bank-funded project that commenced in January 2010. It is led by the Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP), an academic department of the University of Dundee, UK. The project's website was launched in September 2011 at the World Bank's offices in Washington DC, USA, and contains a listing of the project's various partners. A hard-copy book summarising the work of the project is due to be published as part of the World Bank's Open Knowledge Repository in 2016/7.

The subject matter of the project is the extractive industries, namely: oil, natural gas, and mining. The focus is on the law and policy aspects of the extractive industries value chain rather than petroleum (i.e. oil and gas) or mining engineering. The project has commissioned 14 different documents on a range of extractive industries topics.

An independent evaluation of the project was conducted by Estelle Levin Ltd in 2013.
