The Mandarin's rings are a set of fictional weapons appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. There are two versions of the rings in the Marvel Universe that differ in origin, design and functionality.

The Mandarin's rings were introduced in Tales of Suspense #50 (February 1964) and created by Stan Lee and Don Heck, as the signature weapons of the supervillain Mandarin. The ten rings are made from Makluan technology with each ring possessing a specific power. Later stories reveal that each ring houses the spirit of a dead alien warrior and are given upgrades to gain sentience.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Ten Rings are a set of ten mystical iron rings used by Xu Wenwu and his son Xu Shang-Chi, providing the namesake and emblem of Wenwu's Ten Rings organization. The Ten Rings were later integrated into the mainstream Marvel universe in Shang-Chi vol 2. #11 (April 2022) by writer Gene Luen Yang and artist Marcus To, where they are legendary weapons originating from Ta-Lo that are acquired by Shang-Chi.
