Shizuku is an adult visual novel by Leaf originally released for DOS on January 26, 1996. It has since received releases for Windows, including an enhanced version featuring voice acting and enhanced graphics called Shizuku Renewal in 2004. It is the first game in Leaf's Visual Novel Series, the origin of the term "visual novel".

The game translates the format of Chunsoft's "sound novel" titles such as Otogirisō and Kamaitachi no Yoru, in which players read text and select choices in order to advance the narrative, into an eroge. The story focuses on psychological horror, exploring themes of mind control, conspiracy theory, sexual assault and social alienation.

Although no official English translation has been released, a fan translation of the 1996 version of the game released in 2026.
