"Japanese Devils" (or "Riben Guizi" _ja. 日本鬼子) is a Japanese documentary about the war crimes committed by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The film features stories retold by retired former soldiers of the Imperial Army, such as Yoshio Shinozuka.

Controversies stirred up in Japan over inconsistencies between the historical facts presented in the film and those found in official Japanese high school text books.

In China, the term "Riben Guizi" is sometimes used as a disparaging against the Japanese (See Anti-Japanese sentiment in China).
