Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is a 1997 platform action-adventure game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka and published by Konami for the Nintendo 64. The second Ganbare Goemon game released in North America and Europe, and the twelfth mainline installment overall, follows The Legend of the Mystical Ninja and features hybrid elements of platform games and action-adventure games.

The story follows Goemon's struggles to prevent the Peach Mountain Shoguns gang from turning Japan into a Westernized fine arts theater. The plot calls for three cinematic musical features and battles between giant robots; like other Ganbare Goemon games, it is peppered with surrealist humor and anachronisms.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon sold nearly 200,000 units worldwide. Reviewers praised its graphics, gameplay, and humorous plot, while criticizing its virtual camera and questioning how accessible its references and jokes would be to Western audiences.
