Ghost was a comic book superhero published by Dark Horse Comics. The character appeared in a number of specials and monthly titles that chronicled the "after-life" of Elisa Cameron and her attempts to regain her lost memories as a result of her apparent death.

Ghost first appeared in Comics Greatest World week 3. A monthly title, Ghost, devoted to the character appeared later that year and ran for 36 issues, followed by a two-year break and a second series running for 22 issues. The stories revolved around the city of Arcadia which was firmly entrenched in a self-contained fictional universe outlined in Dark Horse's Comics Greatest World.

The characters of Comics Greatest World were widely derided as an attempt to cash in on the "speculator boom" of the 1990s, and their publishing histories were consequently short-lived. Ghost, however, continued to appear in her own titles and others into the 2000s, and the character appeared in several crossovers not related to Comics' Greatest World. Most notable among these were a two-issue crossover with Dark Horse's Hellboy (Ghost/Hellboy Special), and a four-issue crossover with DC Comics Batgirl (Ghost/Batgirl: The Resurrection Engine).
