Spider-Man: Life Story is a six-issue comic book miniseries published by Marvel Comics in 2019. Written by Chip Zdarsky with art by Mark Bagley, the story follows Spider-Man in the alternate universe of Earth-19529, in which the events in the Marvel Universe from 1961 to 2019 place in real time, the timeline lightly diverging in parts, following Peter Parker from ages 15 to 73. The series was made in celebration of Marvel Comics' 80th anniversary. Spider-Man: Life Story received critical acclaim, both for its emotional weight and willingness to age the Spider-Man character.

A complementary series set in its own continuity, Fantastic Four: Life Story, was published in 2021, while a direct spin-off/epilogue, Spider-Man: Life Story Annual, exploring the life and final days of the continuity's J. Jonah Jameson, was also published in 2021, and republished along with the original miniseries as Spider-Man: Life Story Extra.
