D.Gray-man (Japanese: ディー・グレイマン, Hepburn: Dī Gureiman^?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Katsura Hoshino. Set in the 19th century, the series tells the story of a boy named Allen Walker, a young member of an organization of exorcists named the Black Order. They make use of an ancient substance called Innocence to combat the Millennium Earl and his demonic army of Akuma who aim to destroy mankind. Many characters and their designs were adapted from some of Katsura Hoshino's previous works and drafts, such as Zone. The series is noted for its dark narrative, which led Hoshino to once rewrite a scene she found too violent for the young demographic.

The manga began serialization in 2004 in the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine, published by Shueisha. The series suffered multiple hiatuses because of Hoshino's health issues. D.Gray-man made the transition from a weekly to a monthly series in November 2009, when it began serialization in Jump SQ. In December 29, 2012, the series went on an indefinite hiatus. The series began serialization again on July 17, 2015, in a spin-off magazine of Jump Square, Jump SQ.Crown. The manga chapters have been collected in a total of twenty-five tankōbon volumes. As of August 5, 2014, Viz Media has released 24 volumes in the United States.

There is also a spin-off novel series titled D.Gray-man Reverse, written by Kaya Kizaki, that explores the history of various characters. The manga has also been adapted into a 103-episode anime series by TMS Entertainment. It aired from October 3, 2006, to September 30, 2008, in Japan. The anime is licensed by Funimation in North America. A 13-episode anime series, D.Gray-Man Hallow was produced by TMS Entertainment.
