Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger (快盗戦隊ルパンレンジャーVS警察戦隊パトレンジャー, Kaitō Sentai Rupanrenjā Bui Esu Keisatsu Sentai Patorenjā, Phantom Thief Squadron Lupinranger VS Police Squadron Patranger) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama and the 42nd entry of the Toei Company's long-running Super Sentai metaseries. This series is the first to feature two different teams of heroes-the gentleman thief-themed Lupinrangers and the police-themed Patrangers-who engage in a three-way battle against an alien criminal organization targeting Earth called the Ganglars. It is also the first Super Sentai TV series to not have an ending theme like many of TV Asahi's other shows. Lupinranger VS Patranger, which was the last Super Sentai series to air entirely in the Heisei era, it aired from February 11, 2018 to February 10, 2019, replacing Uchu Sentai Kyuranger and it was temporarily replaced by Super Sentai Strongest Battle and after 4 weeks it was completely replaced by Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger on March 17th. The program joining Kamen Rider Build and later, Kamen Rider Zi-O, in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations.[1][2]

Additionally, Lupinranger VS Patranger began airing in South Korea in June 2020 as Power Rangers Lupin Force VS Patrol Force.

Two of the series' villain costumes and a prop were used for the 30th season of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, which was adapting the 2017 Sentai installment, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger).
