Baby Princess (ベイビー・プリンセス, Beibī Purinsesu) is a series of Japanese illustrated short stories written by Sakurako Kimino with illustrations by Natsuki Mibu and Yuki Kiriga. The stories were a part of a reader participation game in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki G's Magazine where readers could influence the progression of the story. The project was first unveiled in the October 2007 issue of Dengeki G's Magazine, and ran until the June 2012 issue.

A light novel adaptation written by Kimino with illustrations by Sana Wakatsuki was published in seven volumes under Dengeki Bunko between April 2009 and May 2011. A manga adaptation illustrated by Yasuhiro Miyama was serialized between the May 2011 and August 2013 issues of Dengeki G's Magazine. An original video animation adaptation by Studio Comet was released on July 20, 2011 on Blu-ray as a 3D and 2D edition set with the title Baby Princess 3D Paradise 0 (with special 3D-glasses) and on DVD as a regular 2D edition with the title Baby Princess 2D Paradise 0.
