Kino no Tabi (キノの旅 -the Beautiful World- Kino's Journey) is a Japanese light novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa, with illustrations by Kōhaku Kuroboshi. The series originally started serialization in volume five of MediaWorks' now-defunct light novel magazine Dengeki hp on March 17, 2000. The first bound volume of the series was published on July 10, 2000 by MediaWorks under their Dengeki Bunko publishing label. As of October 2017, twenty-one volumes have been published, and over 8 million copies of the novels have been sold in Japan.

A 13-episode anime produced by A.C.G.T and Genco aired between April and July 2003 on WOWOW in Japan, and was licensed for North American distribution by ADV films. The books also received adaptations in other formats: a radio drama, an OVA, two films, two visual novel adventure games for PS2, and a parody spin-off, Gakuen Kino. In connection with Dengeki Bunko's 20th Anniversary in 2013, Kino no Tabi was serialized weekly for half a year in several regional newspapers in Japan, and volumes I to XVI were reprinted with new cover artwork. In 2017, the series simultaneously received two manga adaptations and a new 12-episode anime produced by EGG Firm and animated by Studio Lerche.
