The Hungry Ghosts Scroll (餓鬼草紙 gaki sо̄shi, gaki zо̄shi) is an illustrated narrative handscroll depicting scenes from the realm of hungry ghosts, one of the six realms of rebirth and existence in Buddhist cosmology. The scroll consists of seven sections of paintings and text, containing various tales of the suffering and salvation of hungry ghosts. It is currently located at the Kyoto National Museum.

The scroll was produced in the 12ᵗʰ century, during the late Heian period (平安時代 794-1185) and early Kamakura period (鎌倉時代 1185-1336), around the time in which the country was engaged in a civil war, eventually leading to the establishment of feudalism in Japan. Like its contemporary works, the scroll was written in Classical Japanese, the literary form of the Japanese language as it was spoken at the time used mainly in prose and poetry writing.
