Neo-ninja, sometimes used in conjunction with the term Gendai Ninpo, refers to modern martial arts schools which claim to teach elements of the historic ninja of Japan, or base their school's philosophy upon traits attributed to the historic ninja of Japan.

Among Neo-ninja schools there is a lot of variety. Most schools teach eclectic curricula from a variety of different cultures and sources. Some of these schools are clear about the mixed provenance of their history and teachings. Others attempt to obscure the sources of their teachings with an aura of mysticism. Many neo-ninja schools came into being in the 1980s during the "ninja boom."
