Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, translated as Special Operations Squadron Go-Busters) is the title of the 36th entry in the Super Sentai series. It premiered on February 26, 2012, and joined Kamen Rider FourzeIcon-crosswiki and Kamen Rider Wizard after Fourze's finale as a part of the Super Hero Time programming block on TV Asahi.

The series follows a spy motif and follows a group of warriors in their goal to stop a malevolent computer virus and its organization.
