{{Nihongo|Weekly Playboy|週刊プレイボーイ|Shūkan Pureibōi|lead=yes}}, also known as {{Nihongo|Shūpure|週プレ}} or WPB, is a Japanese weekly magazine published by Shueisha since 1966. Although the magazine publishes a variety of news and special interest articles, columns, celebrity interviews, and manga, it is considered an adult magazine.{{cn|date=July 2024}} The target demographic is men, and each issue features several partially nude pictorials of female models.{{cn|date=July 2024}}

This magazine is not a regional edition of the American Playboy magazine; the Japanese edition of that magazine was published as Monthly Playboy (MPB) by Shueisha until its cancellation in January 2009.{{cite web|url=http://bizmakoto.jp/makoto/articles/0906/02/news003.html|script-title=ja:『週刊プレイボーイ』を悩ませていること……それは|work=Business Media Makoto|author=土肥義則|publisher=ITmedia|date=2 June 2009|accessdate=8 August 2010|language=Japanese}}
