Ranking of Kings (王様ランキング, Ōsama Rankingu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Sōsuke Tōka [ja]. It has been serialized online via Echoes' user-submitted Manga Hack website since May 2017 and has been collected in 18 tankōbon volumes by Enterbrain. The story follows the adventures of a little prince named Bojji, who was born deaf and tiny in size, and his friend Kage, a survivor of a wiped-out assassin clan, who understands Bojji's words despite him being unable to speak.

An anime television series adaptation produced by Wit Studio aired from October 2021 to March 2022 on Fuji TV's Noitamina programming block. The spin-off series Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage aired from April to June 2023.

An anime film adaptation has been announced.
