Morning (Japanese: モーニング, Hepburn: Mōningu) is a weekly Japanese seinen manga magazine published by Kodansha. It debuted in 1982 as Comic Morning (コミックモーニング, Komikku Mōningu) and was rebranded as Morning in 1991 while still maintaining its weekly publication tradition. The digital edition of the magazine is titled Weekly D Morning (週刊Dモーニング, Shūkan D Mōningu). It is the sister magazine of Evening and Afternoon.

In 2006 a spin-off magazine called Monthly Morning Two (月刊モーニングtwo, Gekkan Mōningu Two) was launched (formerly bimonthly), featuring stories like Saint Young Men, under the supervision of editor-in-chief Eijiro Shimada, who was simultaneously deputy editor-in-chief of the weekly Morning.[3][4]
