Romeo no Aoi Sora (ロミオの青い空 Romio no Aoi Sora?, "Romeo's Blue Skies") is a Japanese anime series by Nippon Animation. Although "Romeo's Blue Skies" is the literal translation of the Japanese title, the official English name given by Nippon Animation is "Romeo and the Black Brothers". It is known in the Philippines as "Mga Munting Pangarap ni Romeo" (literally "Romeo's Simple Dreams").

It is based on the novel (Die Schwarzen Brüder) written in 1941 in Switzerland by the Jewish author Kurt Held but published under the name of his wife Lisa Tetzner.
