Denji Sentai Megaranger (電磁戦隊メガレンジャー, Denji Sentai Megarenjā, ) is Toei's twenty-first production of the Super Sentai television series. The footage was also used in the American series, Power Rangers in Space. Megaranger premiered on February 14, 1997 and concluded on February 15, 1998.

In June 2017, Shout! Factory announced "Denji Sentai Megaranger: The Complete Series" coming to DVD. Originally slated for an August 29, 2017 release, the DVD was delayed to October 31, 2017 due to a production issue. This will be the 6th Super Sentai series to be released in North America on Region 1 DVD.

Kenta Date, a senior high school student, is the ultimate champion of an arcade video game called "Megaranger". He belongs to the Cybernetics club, a group of like minded friends from his school. Koichiro Endo, Shun Namiki, Chisato Jogaseki, and Miku Imamura are also members of Cybernetics. The International Network of Excel-Science and Technology (INET), the games creators, invite Kenta and the Cybernetics club members to tour the INET laboratories. Following a short tour of the INET HQ buildings, the company is attacked by the Neijirejia, an evil force led by Dr. Hinelar on a mission to conquer the current reality. Dr. Kubota, INET's chief scientist, reveals that Megaranger was more than only a simple video game but actually a combat simulator to identify potential recruits for a super fighting team to combat the Neijirejia. While the INET headquarters (HQ) is destroyed by the Neijirejia warrior Yugande, Dr. Kubota gives Kenta and his friends devices known as 'Digitizers'. By entering the key-code "3-3-5" and shouting "Install, Megaranger!", Date, Endo, Namiki, Jogasaki and Imamura transform into the Megarangers to fight the Nejirejia.

INET, the "International Network of Excel-Science and Technology", is the company responsible for the Megaranger video game used to identify five people to become the Megarangers.

Five high school students chosen by INET become the Megarangers, with one additional Megaranger who is an INET agent. Their base of operations is the Digital Research Club "Digiken" in Moroboshi High School.

The mecha used by the Megaranger were made by INET.
