Hidamari Sketch (Japanese: ひだまりスケッチ, Hepburn: Hidamari Suketchi, lit. "Sunny Sketch") is a Japanese yonkoma manga series written and illustrated by Ume Aoki. It follows a group of young female art students, and following their daily lives as close friends and neighbors at the nearby Hidamari Apartments. The manga has been serialized in Houbunsha's monthly magazine Manga Time Kirara Carat since February 28, 2004, with its chapters collected in ten tankōbon volumes as of March 2020. Since 2008, Yen Press has licensed an English translation of the series in North America under the title Sunshine Sketch.

A 12-episode anime adaptation by Shaft aired in Japan between January and March 2007. It was followed by three sequels: Hidamari Sketch × 365, a 13-episode season between July and September 2008; Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu, a 12-episode season between January and March 2010; and Hidamari Sketch × Honeycomb, a 12-episode season between October and December 2012. Two special episodes for each of the first three seasons were broadcast in October 2007, October 2009, and October 2010, respectively, as well as two specials entitled Hidamari Sketch × SP in October and November 2011. A two-episode original video animation, Hidamari Sketch: Sae/Hiro Graduation Edition, was released on November 27, 2013. Since 2010, the series and specials have been licensed in North America with English subtitles by Sentai Filmworks.
