Psycho-Pass: Inspector Shinya Kogami (Japanese: PSYCHO-PASS 監視官 狡噛慎也, Hepburn: Saiko Pasu Kanshikan Kōgami Shinya) is a Japanese manga series written by Midori Gotou and illustrated by Natsuo Sai. The manga is a prequel to Production I.G's 2012 Psycho-Pass anime series, focusing on the younger days of Shinya Kogami, an Inspector working for Public Safety Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division in contrast to his darker characterization from the television series where he is recognized by the Sybil System as a latent criminal.

The series was published by Mag Garden between 2014 and 2017, reaching a total of six collected volumes. It was licensed for English released in North America by Dark Horse Comics. While the series was well received in Japan through positive sales, critical response to the manga was mixed due to the more naive handling of Kogami's character as he is not considered as striking as in the anime. However, the art was praised.
