Kazuya Mishima (Japanese: 三島 一八, Hepburn: Mishima Kazuya^?) is a video game character in Namco Bandai's Tekken series. First appearing as the main protagonist in the original game, he has appeared in most of the games in the series so far, with the notable exception of Tekken 3 and its derivative games.

The son of the CEO of worldwide conglomerate Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya sought to take revenge against his father for having thrown him down a cliff years prior. However, his victory over Heihachi quickly revealed him to be no different from his father, as he engaged in multiple corrupt practices that established him as one of the series' antagonists. In particular, Kazuya's relationship with Jun Kazama conceived their son, Jin Kazama, who opposed his father and for the most part became the series' protagonist. Kazuya possesses the Devil Gene, a strange mutation that could transform him into a demonic form known as Devil Kazuya (Japanese: デビル一八, Hepburn: Debiru Kazuya^?) (or simply Devil, prior to Devil Jin's playable appearance). The character has received positive reception.
