Sakamoto Days (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuto Suzuki [ja]. It has been serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump since November 2020, with its chapters collected in 18 tankōbon volumes as of August 2024. It is simultaneously published in English by Viz Media and the Manga Plus online platform.

An anime television series adaptation produced by TMS Entertainment is set to premiere on TV Tokyo in January 2025.

The story revolves around Taro Sakamoto, a retired legendary hitman who has settled into a quiet and mundane life as a family man. However, his peaceful life is disrupted when former enemies and colleagues from his hitman days come seeking revenge. To protect his family and loved ones, Sakamoto must use his exceptional combat skills to face off against a variety of adversaries while trying to maintain his ordinary facade.

By May 2024, the manga had over 5 million copies in circulation.
