Le Village des Noubas is a photographic documentary and travel narrative by George Rodger, published in Paris by Robert Delpire within the "Huit" collection. The work provides an ethnographic documentation of the Noubas people of Kordofan, focusing on their rituals, daily life, and cultural practices. It features 38 black and white négravure reproductions of photographs taken by Rodger, accompanied by his own descriptive text written in French.

The publication combines artistic photography with travelogue elements to offer an intimate look at the inhabitants of this region.
