The Ryanverse franchise focuses on the character Jack Ryan, a fictional CIA analyst created in 1984 by American author Tom Clancy, who featured him in fourteen novels. It also features CIA operative John Clark and The Campus, a covert counter-terrorism and intelligence organization. Since Clancy's death in 2013, four other authors have written authorized novels featuring Ryan and the Campus: Mark Greaney, Marc Cameron, and Andrews and Wilson. In addition, a spin-off series featuring Ryan's son Jack Junior was written by Grant Blackwood, Mike Maden, Don Bentley, and M. P. Woodward. The latest novel is Executive Power by Andrews and Wilson, a Jack Ryan novel published in November 2025.

Clancy's novels featuring the Ryanverse have charted at the top of the New York Times bestseller list, selling more than 100 million copies. They have been adapted for film, video games, and television. The films, starring Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine as Ryan, have an unadjusted worldwide gross revenue of $788.4 million to date, making it the 57th-highest-grossing film series. Amazon Prime Video has released a television series featuring John Krasinski as Ryan and a planned film series featuring Michael B. Jordan as Clark. In addition, Clark has appeared in the Rainbow Six series of video games.
