The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls (Japanese: Y十M(ワイ じゅう エム) ~柳生忍法帖~, Hepburn: Y- Jyu -M - Yagyū Ninpōchō) is a Japanese manga series by Masaki Segawa [ja], an adaptation of a novel Yagyū Ninpōchō by Futaro Yamada. It was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Weekly Young Magazine from May 2005 to June 2008, with its chapters collected in eleven tankōbon volumes. Like the author's previous title Basilisk, The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls is based on a novel from Yamada's Ninpōchō series and can therefore be considered a sequel to Basilisk, especially as several of the same historical characters featured in Basilisk make a return appearance. Its story centers on seven female survivors of the Hori clan, aided by Yagyū Jūbei, and their quest of vengeance.

Del Rey Manga licensed the manga for an English-language release in North America; they published seven volumes from October 2007 to November 2009. After Del Rey Manga's license expired, in October 2012, Kodansha USA acquired the license for digital in North America, released the full manga digitally from August 2016 to April 2017.
