Mibu Gishiden (壬生義士伝, Mibu Gishi Den; lit.'Legend of the Loyal Retainers of Mibu') is a Japanese manga series adapted from the novel of the same name, written by Jiro Asada and illustrated by Takumi Nagayasu. It follows the lives of two Shinsengumi towards the end of the Tokugawa shogunate.

The manga was published over a long period of time, and by several publishers. It was initially serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's seinen manga magazine, Comic Charge, in November 2007. However, when that magazine was discontinued in January 2009, the manga was transferred to Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine, Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine. Publication in the new magazine ran from January 2010 to February 2012. It was then moved to the publisher Homesha's Garaku.mag manga website in April 2014. That magazine ceased publication in August 2015, so serialization resumed on the manga's own official website in August 2016. The serialization was completed in July 2023, and its chapters were collected in 13 tankōbon volumes in the same month.
