AKB49: Ren'ai Kinshi Jōrei (AKB49〜恋愛禁止条例〜; lit. AKB49 〜Ordinance Against Love〜) is a Japanese manga series based on the female idol group AKB48. This series is illustrated by Reiji Miyajima, and based on the original work by Motoazabu Factory. The story is told through the eyes of the 12th generation Kenkyūsei member Minoru Urayama. Real AKB48 members also appear occasionally in the story as supporting characters.

AKB49: Renai Kinshi Jourei was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from August 2010 to January 2016. It was collected into twenty-nine tankōbon volumes.

In 2014, the first five volumes were adapted into a stage play that ran for a week in September 2014. Various members of the 48 group family made up the cast.
