The Fox Sister is an ongoing webcomic written by Christina Strain and drawn by Jayd Aït-Kaci. The webcomic began to be published online in October 2011, normally updating once a week, and is currently on indefinite hiatus. Its first chapter was self-published by the creators in the form a hardcover graphic novel.

Set in Seoul in 1968, the comic is inspired by the Korean folk tale The Fox Sister, which involves a nine-tailed fox demon (kumiho) killing people and eating their livers in order to become human. The story follows Cho Yun-Hee, a priestess (mudang) of Korean shamanism, whose family was killed years ago by a kumiho, trying to find the killer – now wearing Yun-Hee's dead sister's body – with the aid of Alex, an American military veteran and Christian missionary.

Aït-Kaci and Strain won a Joe Shuster Award in the "Webcomic Creator" category in 2014 for their work on The Fox Sister. Lauren Davis of io9 described The Fox Sister as the most "beautifully colored comic [she's] ever seen" and praised the deeper themes in its story. Janelle Asselin, writing for Comics Alliance, similarly described the webcomic as beautiful, noting that the visual aesthetics holds up well in print.
