Warrior Nun is an American media franchise consisting of comic books and a fantasy action-drama television series which follow the members of the Order of the Cruciform Sword, a fictional military order of Warrior Nuns and Magic Priests in the service of the Catholic Church. Created by Ben Dunn, the comic book series was published by Antarctic Press.

The first season of Warrior Nun, developed by Simon Barry with executive producers Stephen Hegyes and Dean English, was released in July 2020, with an ensemble cast led by Alba Baptista, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young, and Tristán Ulloa. A second season, with William Miller, was released in November 2022. The franchise is set to continue with a live-action film trilogy from Barry, with Baptista reprising her role. However, in April 2025, over a year and a half later, creator Simon Barry shared a "candid update" in which he stated that the company that owned the movie rights had done nothing and that he was not sure that the company even existed anymore due to the death of its CEO and reports of the company mismanaging funds.
