Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi! (Japanese: 世紀末リーダー伝たけし!, Hepburn: Seikimatsu Rīdā den Takeshi!, "A Tale of a Leader in The End of the Century Takeshi!") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro. It started in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump in July 1997. It was suspended from the magazine in August 2002, following Shimabukuro's arrest for violating child prostitution laws. Its chapters were collected in 24 tankōbon volumes. The series briefly resumed in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Super Jump in 2005, with the added subtitle Kanketsu-hen.
In 2001, the series won the 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the children's manga category.
