Kamala Khan is a superheroine who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, writer G. Willow Wilson, and artists Adrian Alphona and Jamie McKelvie, Kamala is Marvel's first major Muslim protagonist character and Pakistani-American personality with her own comic book. In the Marvel Universe, she is a teenage Pakistani-American from Jersey City, New Jersey with body-morphing abilities who discovers that she has Inhuman genes in the aftermath of the "Inhumanity" storyline. She assumes the mantle of Ms. Marvel from her idol, Carol Danvers, after Danvers becomes Captain Marvel.

Kamala made her first appearance in a background cameo in Captain Marvel #14 (August 2013), before appearing in the anthology All-New Marvel Now! Point One #1 (January 2014). Her first of several Ms. Marvel solo series debuted in February 2014, with the character playing a prominent role in the "Inhumans vs X-Men" company crossover, and prominent supporting roles in the team-up books Champions and Secret Warriors, as well as the 2022 The Amazing Spider-Man series. In a 2023 storyline, Kamala joined the X-Men franchise when it was revealed she was an in fact an Inhuman/mutant hybrid, reflecting changes made for her live-action adaptation, and has been a prominent character in X-Men comics in their "Fall of X" and "From the Ashes" eras.

Marvel's announcement that a Muslim character would headline a comic book attracted widespread attention,[5][6][7] with The New York Times Best Seller[8] Ms. Marvel: No Normal winning the 2015 Hugo Award for best graphic story.[9] The character and her solo series have received an overwhelmingly positive critical reception,[10][11] with strong sales for her solo series.[12][13][14] However, her 2019 and 2023 deaths in Champions and The Amazing Spider-Man, respectively, have been criticized as fridging.[15][16][17]

Iman Vellani plays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) miniseries Ms. Marvel, the attraction Avengers: Quantum Encounter (both 2022), the film The Marvels (2023), and the upcoming animated series Marvel Zombies; unlike the comic books, Kamala is reimagined as a latent mutant who uses a magical bangle to create glowing constructs out of hard light. From 2016 to 2019, the character was voiced by Kathreen Khavari in animated series such as Avengers Assemble, Marvel Rising, and Spider-Man. She was voiced by Sandra Saad in the video game Marvel's Avengers (2020) and the animated series Spidey and His Amazing Friends (2021).
