Nobles: The Shining Host is a tabletop role-playing game supplement released by White Wolf Publishing in March 1996 for use with their game Changeling: The Dreaming, and is part of the larger World of Darkness series. The book primarily describes the sidhe and other fae nobility, covering their history and giving more depth to the creation of sidhe characters, as well as fae politics in the setting.

The book was developed by Ian Lemke and written by Christian Howard, with themes of alienation and hope, and with art direction by Aileen Miles and Lawrence Snelly. Tony DiTerlizzi drew the cover art, depicting a sidhe, and took inspiration from the lyrics to Meg Davis's song "The Elf Glade". The book was well received by critics for its writing, artwork, and usefulness as a game aid, and described as an example of the publisher at its best and as one of the most essential Changeling: The Dreaming books. In 1999, it was followed by The Fool's Luck: The Way of the Commoner, a sourcebook about changeling commoners.
