Weekly Young Jump is a Japanese ja manga magazine published by Shueisha. Launched in 1979, it is published under Shueisha's Jump line of magazines. The chapters of series that run in Weekly Young Jump are collected and published in ja volumes under the "Young Jump Comics" imprint every four months. Many of the featured series are known to contain heavy violence and a fair amount of sexual content. The magazine is headquartered in Tokyo.

History

Young Jump was launched in May 1979 as a biweekly magazine, and switched to a weekly release schedule in 1981. The "young" in its name denotes its target demographic as a ja manga magazine, aimed at young adult men. In 2008, an offshoot issue similar to Monthly Shōnen Jump was released called Monthly Young Jump; the magazine was rebranded as Miracle Jump in 2011, and was suspended in 2017.

A spin-off website, titled Tonari no Young Jump, debuted on June 14, 2012, starting with Yusuke Murata's remake of One's series One-Punch Man.

Beginning with Bungo: Unreal on October 9, 2025, Shueisha announced that every new manga series launched in Weekly Young Jump would receive a simultaneous worldwide digital release on their Manga Plus platform.
