Mega Man ZX Advent is a 2007 action-platform game developed by Inti Creates and published by Capcom for the Nintendo DS. The game was first released in Japan on July 12, 2007; in North America on October 23, 2007; in Europe on February 29, 2008; and in Australia on March 5, 2008.

Part of the Mega Man franchise, the game is the only sequel to Mega Man ZX. ZX Advent follows two new protagonists, Grey and Ashe, as they battle with various enemy "Mega Men", the infamous Model W, and their own destinies. The gameplay sees a multitude of expansions, including twice as many playable forms. The North American localization also includes a full English voice cast.

During a livestream hosted by Inti Creates, it was divulged that a third Mega Man ZX entry dubbed "ZXC" had been in development, and that ZX series scenario writer Makoto Yabe had written numerous story details in preparation for that game before being cancelled, and Mega Man 9's movement had actually been imported from the playable character of that game.

The game was re-released as part of the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, on February 25, 2020, and February 27, 2020, in Japan, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows.
