The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (英雄伝説VI(シックス) 空の軌跡, Eiyū Densetsu Shikkusu Sora no Kiseki^?) is a Japanese role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. It is commonly referred to as Trails in the Sky First Chapter (英雄伝説空の軌跡FC^?) to distinguish itself from the rest of the games in the Trails in the Sky series. The game is the first game in trilogy of titles, which also includes Trails in the Sky Second Chapter and Trails in the Sky the 3rd, and collectively, the titles create the sixth entry in the larger The Legend of Heroes series of video games.

First Chapter was first released in Japan for Microsoft Windows in 2004, and later ported to the PlayStation Portable in 2006. North American video game publisher Xseed Games acquired the rights to push the game from Falcom, but did not release it until 2011 due to the game's massive size and amount of text necessary to translate and localize. A HD port to the PlayStation 3 was released in Japan in 2012 as part of Sony's PSP Remaster line of games, while a HD remaster for the PlayStation Vita has been released in 2015; both Japanese-only releases. A localization of the PC original was announced for the third game in the Sora no Kiseki trilogy to be released by XSEED Games in 2017.
