The Unmapped Land is a 1943 Australian verse drama play for radio by Elisabeth Lambert. It was entered in a verse drama competition and did not win but was purchased and produced by the ABC.

According to ABC Weekly the play "tells the story of three women who represent three points of view in the modern world, and the effect that a war has on them and on the people with whom they come in contact."

It was Lambert's first play for radio. She followed it with Storm's Abatement. This launched her writing career.
