Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is a Dragon Ball prequel manga series written in 2013 by Akira Toriyama and originally published in Weekly Shōnen Jump. Ahead of the debut chapter's publication in the 2013 #33 issue, advertisements from Shueisha themselves and retailers explicitly described the series as, "the shocking revival of Dragon Ball!"

Each chapter was labeled with the "DB" moniker counting down from 11 (e.g., "DB-11", "DB-10", etc.), with the series' eleventh (and final standard serialization) chapter being labeled as both "+1" and "DB-1".

A supplemental bonus chapter — "Dragon Ball Minus" — was included in the series' collected edition published in April 2014.

Kōhei Ōnishi served as Toriyama's editor on Jaco the Galactic Patrolman.
