One-Punch Man (Japanese: ワンパンマン, Hepburn: Wanpan Man, stylized OnePunch-Man) is a Japanese superhero manga series created by One. It tells the story of Saitama, an independent superhero who, because he can defeat any opponent with a single punch due to having trained himself to his peak condition, grows bored from a lack of challenge, setting out to find powerful opponents, while making allies of other heroes as well. One wrote the original webcomic manga version in early 2009.

A digital manga remake, illustrated by Yusuke Murata, began publication on Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website in June 2012. Its chapters are periodically compiled and published into individual tankōbon volumes. As of November 2024, 32 volumes have been released. In North America, Viz Media licensed the remake manga for English language release and has serialized it in its Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.

An anime adaptation produced by Madhouse was broadcast in Japan from October to December 2015. A second season, produced by J.C.Staff, was broadcast from April to July 2019. A third season also by J.C.Staff has been announced. Licensed in North America by Viz Media, the series aired its first season in the United States on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block from July to October 2016. The second season aired on the block from October 2019 to January 2020.

By June 2012, the original webcomic manga surpassed 7.9 million hits. By April 2020, the manga remake had sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time.
