A Voyage to the South Sea, and Round the World is a 1712 book by Edward Cooke, about a real-life circumnavigation of the Earth in two ships, under the command of Woodes Rogers. It is notable for including a firsthand account of castaway Alexander Selkirk, whose tale appears to have helped inspire Daniel Defoe to write his 1719 novel, Robinson Crusoe.
