Kingdom Hearts Dark Road is a 2020 role-playing video game developed by Square Enix (in collaboration with Disney Interactive Studios), BitGroove and Success, and published by Square Enix for Android and iOS as the thirteenth installment in the Kingdom Hearts series. It is a prequel that explores the origins of series antagonist Xehanort and his eventual turn to darkness.

The game launched in June 2020 as a standalone game accessed through the Kingdom Hearts Union χ mobile app, which was rebranded as Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road. In February 2021, Square Enix announced that Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road would be shutting down its online features and transitioning into an offline app. Dark Road was made unplayable during this transition period until August 2022, when its final update was released. The app was delisted from all storefronts in August 2024.
