Banana Fish is a Japanese manga series by Akimi Yoshida that was serialized from 1985 to 1994 in Bessatsu Shojo Comic, a magazine publishing Shojo manga (girls' manga). Its use of realist artwork and action-oriented story telling broke with the conventions of the genre and gained the series a large crossover audience.

The story revolves around street gang leader Ash Lynx, who uncovers a conspiracy involving the banana fish, a drug that brainwashes its users. In the midst of his investigation, he meets the pure-hearted photographer Eiji Okumura, with whom he forms a bond.

The series was well received, and its themes of adolescent angst and alienation from society resonated with readers. It is considered one of the best-selling shojo manga of all time, and its mature subject matter and stripped-down, non-stop style has been a model for subsequent works of the genre. The series has also been adapted into several animated and live-action films.
