Vampire: The Masquerade is a monthly horror comic book published by Vault Comics since 2020. It is based on the tabletop role-playing game of the same name, and is part of the larger World of Darkness series. The series is written by Tim Seeley, Tini Howard and Blake Howard, with art by Devmalya Pramanik, Nathan Gooden, David W. Mack and Aaron Campbell, coloring by Addison Duke, and lettering by AndWorld.

The comic includes two connected stories, set in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in Minnesota: "Winter's Teeth", which follows the vampire enforcer Cecily Bain, who takes in the abandoned younger vampire Alejandra; and "The Anarch Tales", which follows a coterie of anarch vampires tasked with investigating a murder. The critical response has been positive, particularly towards the artwork and coloring, and it was nominated for an Eisner Award for its lettering. World of Darkness: Crimson Thaw, a cross-over with the tabletop game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, premiered in 2021.
