Justy (ジャスティ, Jasuti) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsuguo Okazaki which ran in Shōnen Sunday Zōkan. It was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) released on July 20, 1985. The OVA was released as a double feature with the Area 88 film.

The story follows Justy Kaizard, a police officer who chases down criminal espers; his tactics might be similar to those of a bounty hunter but he is a salary-drawing officer. Justy is also an esper with remarkable powers. He is able to moderate his psychic forces by the use of the headband that he wears. With this device, which acts only as a psychic damper, he can finely attenuate his powers to prevent collateral damage.

Viz translated part of the manga into English and released nine out-of-order issues in North America between December 6, 1988 and April 4, 1989.
