Dr. Stone (stylized as Dr.STONE) is a Japanese manga series written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by the South Korean artist Boichi. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from March 2017 to March 2022, with its chapters collected in 27 tankōbon volumes. The story follows Senku Ishigami, a scientific genius who plans to rebuild civilization after humanity was mysteriously petrified for 3,700 years.

In North America, the manga was licensed by Viz Media. Shueisha began to simulpublish the series in English on the website and app Manga Plus in January 2019. An anime television series adaptation produced by TMS Entertainment aired on Tokyo MX from July to December 2019. A second season, titled Dr. Stone: Stone Wars, aired from January to March 2021. A television special that takes place between the second and third seasons, titled Dr. Stone: Ryusui, aired in July 2022. A third season, titled Dr. Stone: New World, aired for two split cours; the first one from April to June 2023, and the second from October to December 2023. A fourth and final season, titled Dr. Stone: Science Future, is set to premiere in 2025 and will run for three split cours.

By December 2022, the manga had over 15 million copies in circulation. In 2019, Dr. Stone won the 64th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category.
