Men Among the Ruins: Post-War Reflections of a Radical Traditionalist is a book by Julius Evola. First published as Gli uomini e le rovine (Italian) in 1953, it is a statement of Evola's view of the political and social manifestations of our time (the Kali Yuga). It is considered the second in Evola's core trilogy (starting with Revolt Against the Modern World and ending with Ride the Tiger).

It was first published in an English translation by Inner Traditions International in 2002 (ISBN 0892819057). Translated from the revised Italian edition of 1972 by Guido Stucco with a foreword by Joscelyn Godwin; a preface and introduction by Dr. H.T. Hansen ; and edited by Michael Moynihan. Moynihan's Dominion Press printed a hardbound limited edition of 100 copies, which included a cover painting by Harold McNeill, and an additional essay by John Michell.
