Justice League: Cry for Justice is a seven-issue comic book limited series, written by James Robinson, drawn by Mauro Cascioli, and published by DC Comics in 2009. It follows the adventures of a spin-off Justice League, led by Justice League veterans Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and Green Arrow, and composed of Starman (Mikaal Tomas), Congorilla, Freddy Freeman, the Atom (Ray Palmer), and Supergirl (Kara Zor-El). They are seeking a more proactive stand for seeking justice following the apparent deaths of long-standing Justice League members Batman and Martian Manhunter during the Final Crisis event.

James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli announced that they would be starting a new Justice League series at Wizard World LA 2008. Robinson stated that this series would be about "justice and seeking justice, rather than responding to emergencies, letting the problems come to them, and being almost entirely reactive." Robinson revealed that the team would be brought together by a murder, and that it would be tied to Final Crisis.

Robinson explained that, "Hal Jordan decides that he wants a pro-active team. This team will go after the equivalent of the FBI's most wanted list, sometimes in different countries, sometimes through time. It's a nice eclectic team of established teams and some oddball characters I've thrown in." He also said that, "The difference is, the Justice League of America is all about the League, it's a family. While this is about justice. It's all about bringing in the bad guys."

It was later announced, in an interview with Robinson, that the planned on-going series would be changed to a seven-issue mini-series, the first issue of which went on sale July 1, 2009.
