The Mice Templar is an American comic book series created by Bryan J. L. Glass, and Michael Avon Oeming that is published by Image Comics. The series is an anthropomorphic fantasy tale that follows the struggles of a small group of mice against an evil tyrant king.

The series has been published in four story arcs. Volume 1 consisted of 6 issues; 2, 8; 3, 9; 14; the fifth and final volume was 5 issues.

Volume One featured art by co-creator Michael Avon Oeming. Beginning with Volume Two, Victor Santos took over the art duties.

After the fall of the Templar order on the Field of Avalon a great evil has risen in the land. After many seasons of tyranny by King Icarus a long ago prophecy appears to be in the process of fulfilling itself. The young mouse, Karic, has been visited by the gods of the realm and could possibly be the return of the great Kuhl-En who originally established the Templar order and brought peace to the land. Each arc in the series is a stepping stone to Karic's growth as the main hero of the story and the challenges he faces along the way. The final arc, Legend, has Karic caught between two warring factions, each wanting him for their own purpose and willing to kill him if he chooses the opposing side.

The series is being collected into trade paperback:
