Nekopara (Japanese: ネコぱら), tag-lined Cats Paradise, is a series of eroge slice-of-life visual novels developed by NEKO WORKs and published by Sekai Project. The first game in the series, Nekopara Vol. 1, was released in December 2014, taking place in a world where humans live alongside catgirls. The series follows Minazuki siblings, Kashou and Shigure, who have created a found family of 6 catgirls over time named Chocola, Vanilla, Azuki, Maple, Coconut, and Cinnamon. It is centered around work life at Kashou's pâtisserie and home life at Shigure's family house, as well as the amusements and dramas of everyday life.

An all-ages anime OVA adaptation was released on Steam in December 2017; it became one of the top earners in Steam in December 2017.

An anime original television series adaptation by Felix Film premiered from January to March 2020. The anime is licensed in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru and Colombia by Funimation. NEKO WORKs announced on November 29, 2021, that a new title for the series, After: La Vraie Famille was confirmed to be under development. It was eventually released on June 30, 2025, on Steam with physical copies released late summer of that same year through the developer's Pixiv Booth.

The series is to be succeeded by the upcoming InuPara, with a Nekopara gacha game in the works, subtitled Sekai Connect.
