Pieces of Modesty is a short story collection by Peter O'Donnell featuring his secret agent heroine, Modesty Blaise, first published in 1972. It was O'Donnell's first such collection of stories (he would publish a second, Cobra Trap decades later).

The stories featured in this collection are:

  1. "A Better Way to Die"
  2. "The Giggle-Wrecker"
  3. "I Had a Date With Lady Janet"
  4. "A Perfect Night to Break Your Neck"
  5. "Salamander Four"
  6. "The Soo Girl Charity"

Elements from some of these stories would appear in the Modesty Blaise comic strip which O'Donnell wrote concurrent with his book series. "I Had a Date With Lady Janet" is distinguished as the only Modesty Blaise tale to be told in the first person by Modesty's right-hand man, Willie Garvin.
