Paimon (Chinese: 派蒙; pinyin: Pàiméng) is a character from Genshin Impact, a 2020 action role-playing gacha game developed by miHoYo. She serves as the game's mascot, the player's guide, and icon for the game and official website. She has the appearance of a small flying fairy that speaks dialogue on the player's behalf and teaches them how to play the game. In all instances, the character is voiced by Corina Boettger in English, Duoduo Poi in Chinese, Aoi Koga in Japanese, and Kim Ga-ryung in Korean.

Paimon has been met with mixed responses from critics and fans, with some liking her dialogue when insulting other characters, but with others criticizing her role as the player's guide. A recurring joke throughout Genshin Impact describes Paimon as "emergency food", with the joke becoming an internet meme amongst the community. Others have questioned the exact nature of her character, comparing her to characters seen in previous miHoYo works.
