Stanford's Large Scale Map of Zulu Land with Adjoining Parts of Natal, Transvaal & Portuguese Africa (1879) is a historically significant 19th-century campaign map published by Edward Stanford in London. It was actively used by the British military officers on the field during the Anglo-Zulu War. It provided critical tactical information shortly after the Battle of Isandlwana and the defence of Rorke's Drift.

Alongside depicting topography, the map includes notes on physical features, population distribution, tribal territories, and their "probable numbers".
