My Hero Academia (Japanese: 僕のヒーローアカデミア, Hepburn: Boku no Hīrō Akademia) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Bones, based on the manga series My Hero Academia by Kōhei Horikoshi. Set in a world where superpowers (called "Quirks") have become commonplace, the story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy who was born without a Quirk but still dreams of becoming a superhero himself. He is scouted by the world's greatest hero, All Might, who bestows his Quirk to Midoriya after recognizing his potential, and helps to enroll him in a prestigious high school for superheroes in training. The anime series aired a total of eight seasons from April 3, 2016, to December 13, 2025.

The first season of the series premiered on Mainichi Broadcasting System, TBS Television and their Japan News Network affiliates, while from the second season onwards it aired on Yomiuri TV, Nippon TV and their Nippon Television Network System affiliates until its eighth and final season. In North America, the series is licensed by Crunchyroll. The series also aired an English dub in the United States on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block up until its sixth season.

The anime has also received four animated films, subtitled Two Heroes, Heroes Rising, World Heroes' Mission, and You're Next, along with ten original video animations (OVAs) and an upcoming television special that adapts a bonus chapter from the final volume of the manga.

The series received praise for its animation, music, pacing, action sequences, and voice acting in both Japanese and English versions, as well as numerous awards. It is considered by many to be one of the most notable anime titles from the 2010s.
