明代国家书目是明代编纂的著录朝廷图书，即宫廷藏书、中央官署藏书以及国家刻书的书目，全面反映了明代国家藏书和刻书的盛况，同时亦体现着国家的思想文化的导向，具有重要的研究价值。明代定鼎以后，开始偃武修文，朝廷高度重视书籍的收藏、编撰、刊刻，促成了国家图籍的极大发展。书籍的丰富使得国家书目的编制成为必然。现存可以见到的明代国家书目共七部。这一书目类群是中国传统目录学的重要组成部分，然而在对传统目录学的传承中彰显出诸多的变异。打破“辨章学术，考镜源流”的目录学学术传统，注重实用，以登记式目录为主；突破四部分类法，按各自藏书或刻书的特点划分类例；“转藏为用”的转型，显示出了近代图书馆馆藏目录的特征。而作为以收录朝廷图书为己任的书目，反映了明代国家统治思想和学术文化的独特性。“典制类”位于经类之上、敕撰图籍的兴盛可以窥见明代高度的文化专制。特殊的《内板经书纪略》则标志着下层通俗文化向上层社会的渗透，等等。明代国家书目对明代独特的政治、思想、文化的研究具有极为重要的史料价值。明代国家书目深深的时代烙印可以为我们深入研究明代政治、思想、文化提供新的视角。
