Sazanami Cherry (Japanese: さざなみチェリー, Hepburn: Sazanami Cherī) is an otokonoko romance manga created by Rika Kamiyoshi [ja]. It was originally serialized by Ichijinsha in their magazine Waai! from April 24, 2010, to August 25, 2011, and has since been collected in a single tankōbon volume. Together with Reversible!, it was the first manga published under the Waai! Comics imprint.

The story follows Kazuhiro Migiwa, who falls in love with the cross-dresser Ren Takano under the belief that he is a woman, and their romantic relationship. Kamiyoshi wrote the story based on the concept of the unease around difficulties for otokonoko to remain feminine as they grow older and wrote the main characters as a gay couple to add more depth to the story. The series was well received and was considered by critics to stand out among otokonoko manga.
