Sailor Saturn (セーラーサターン, Sērā Satān) is a fictional supporting character in the Sailor Moon manga, the 1992–1997 anime series created by Naoko Takeuchi and the 2014–2023 reboot that more closely follows the manga. Her spirit resides deep within twelve-year-old Hotaru Tomoe (土萠 ほたる, Tomoe Hotaru), a frail middle schoolgirl who is her lookalike reincarnation, which makes Sailor Saturn her alter ego; entirely apart from how the other nine Sailor Guardians are reborn and their human identities entirely separate.

She is the tenth and last of the Sailor Guardians of the long gone Moon Kingdom to be introduced, possessing immensely strong dark powers associated with silence and ruin, nothingness and the void, destruction and death, annihilation and rebirth that made her a potential threat as she can wipe out a planet and even an entire Star System or reset its evolution. Her deathly powers are necessary for rejuvenation and re-creation to follow by Sailor Moon's mighty powers of healing and rejuvenation with powerful moonlight from the Silver Crystal.
