Girls' Frontline (simplified Chinese: 少女前线; traditional Chinese: 少女前線; pinyin: Shàonǚ Qiánxiàn) is a mobile strategy role-playing game for Android and iOS developed by China-based studio MICA Team, where players control echelons of android characters, known in-universe as T-Dolls, each carrying a distinctive real-world firearm.[1][2] The game was released in Mainland China on 20 May 2016,[3] in Hong Kong and Taiwan on 18 January 2017, and in South Korea on 30 June 2017.[4] The global English version was released on 8 May 2018, while the Japanese version was released on 1 August 2018 under the title Dolls Frontline (ドールズフロントライン) due to the Girls' Frontline trademark in Japan already being held by another registrant.[5]

Girls' Frontline is a prequel of another game developed by MICA Team, Codename: Bakery Girl, released in 2013.[6] Two television anime series based on Girls' Frontline have been produced,[7][8] and an official manga is serialised monthly.[9] A new anime television series by Asahi Production aired from January to March 2022.
