Narn i Chîn Húrin
A portion of the "Narn i Chîn Húrin" or "The Tale of the Children of Húrin" or simply the "Narn" is a part of the book "Unfinished Tales" by the English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It is a prose version of an earlier narrative poem called "The Lay of the Children of Húrin". A complete version of the Narn called "The Children of Húrin", edited by Christopher Tolkien, was released as a new book in 2007.

The Narn is a long story of what happened to Húrin and his children Túrin Turambar and Nienor, after Húrin was cursed by Morgoth. A coherent but less detailed version of this story appears as "Of Túrin Turambar" in "The Silmarillion", the first posthumous edition of Tolkien's works.

In the published "Silmarillion" and "Unfinished Tales", the title of the Narn is given as "Narn i Hîn Húrin". This was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien which he later regretted, done only to prevent people from pronouncing "Chîn" like English "chin" with a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate, rather than a voiceless palatal fricative as in the German "dich" or the initial sound of the English word "huge". The standalone novel "The Children of Húrin" (2007) uses "Chîn".
