Kannazuki no Miko (神無月の巫女, lit. Priestesses of the Kannazuki) is a Japanese yuri manga series created by Kaishaku. The series, centering on the relationship between main characters Himeko and Chikane, also has elements of mecha themes in its plot.[2] The 14-chapter series was serialized by Kadokawa Shoten in the monthly Shōnen Ace magazine from 2004 to 2005.

The series was adapted into a 12-episode anime by TNK and Geneon Entertainment, which aired in Japan from October to December 2004. A drama CD, based on the anime version, was released on November 25, 2004 by Geneon. In North America the manga was licensed by Tokyopop and the anime by Geneon USA; the anime license was transferred to Sentai Filmworks in 2009. In 2010, the anime aired on the Anime Network as Destiny of the Shrine Maiden.

A spin-off manga titled Himekami no Miko (姫神の巫女) started serialization on the July 2020 issue of ASCII Media Works' monthly Dengeki Maoh magazine.[3]
