La Serie de Japón (日本シリーズ, Nihon Shiriizu) es el nombre que recibe la fase final de la Liga Japonesa de Béisbol Profesional, que se celebra desde 1950. Consta de una ronda al mejor de 7 partidos que enfrenta al campeón de la Liga Central y el de la Liga del Pacífico.
Las Series suelen celebrarse entre los meses de octubre y noviembre, y están consideradas como el principal torneo de béisbol de Japón. El primero que gana cuatro partidos se convierte en el vencedor, es declarado como Campeón de las Series (日本一 Nippon Ichi, primero de Japón) y representa a su país en las Series de Asia.
Cada partido se juega con las normas del equipo de casa. Esto significa por ejemplo que, si un equipo de la Liga del Pacífico juega en su estadio, los dos clubes podrán usar bateador designado, algo que en Liga Central no se permite. Cada partido dura 9 entradas ampliables hasta 15, y en caso de persistir el empate se debe repetir el encuentro.
A lo largo de su historia ha habido varios sistemas para determinar el campeón, y si bien en años anteriores se enfrentaban los campeones de cada liga, desde 2003 la Liga del Pacífico decidió realizar un playoff (climax series) entre los tres primeros para determinar el campeón de su división, algo similar a las Series Mundiales de la MLB. En 2007, la Liga Central decidió adoptar el mismo sistema para elegir a su campeón.
En el palmarés, los clubes de la Liga Central han conseguido 35 títulos frente a los 28 de la Liga del Pacífico. El equipo que más veces ha ganado la Serie de Japón es Yomiuri Giants, con 22 campeonatos en su haber.
