Kimagure Orange Road (Japanese: きまぐれオレンジ☆ロード Hepburn: Kimagure Orenji Rōdo?) is a Japanese romantic comedy manga series written and illustrated by Izumi Matsumoto. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from 1984 to 1987, with the chapters collected into 18 tankōbon volumes by Shueisha.

Following a 1985 film adaptation, Studio Pierrot created an anime television series that was broadcast on Nippon Television from 1987 to 1988. Two more films were released in 1988 and 1996, as well as an original video animation series that began in 1989. In the mid-1990s the series was novelized as well. The manga has been released in English digitally by Digital Manga Guild. The television anime, second film, and original video animation series were all released in North America by AnimEigo, while the third film was licensed by ADV Films.

The Kimagure Orange Road manga was written and illustrated by Izumi Matsumoto and serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump between 1984 and 1987. In March 2013, Hivelinx released the manga first volume in English as an e-book for NTT Solmare's Facebook app "ComicFriends," and for Amazon Kindle and Apple iBooks. In March 2014, Digital Manga Guild acquired its rights and released the series through its eManga website. The series was expanded to 20 volumes for the English digital release. In addition, the manga is currently being crowdfunded for omnibus print editions. As of May 5, 2016, it has reached its goal of publishing all six books.
