The Cybernetic Samurai series by Victor Milan consists of two science fiction novels published in 1985 and 1990. The series explores artificial intelligence and Japanese warrior culture, imagining an AI system that develops consciousness and adopts the code of the samurai.

The Cybernetic Samurai introduced the concept, and The Cybernetic Shogun expanded on it five years later. The combination of AI themes with samurai philosophy gave Milan a distinctive premise that stood apart from other cyberpunk and AI fiction of the 1980s.
