Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, abbreviated as KotOR, is an ongoing comic book series published by Dark Horse Comics. The first issue was released on January 25, 2006. As of 2007, it is one of the four ongoing Star Wars comic series produced by Dark Horse.

Set in the Old Republic era, the series is a sequel to Dark Horse's earlier Tales of the Jedi comics and a prequel to the video games Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It takes place during the Mandalorian Wars and nominally focuses on a Padawan named Zayne Carrick, who has been framed for a crime he did not commit, suddenly finding himself on the run from the Jedi Order.

With a solid fanbase and robust sales, Knights of the Old Republic is to start its 2008 run with four issues laying the foundation for Star Wars: Vector, an upcoming crossover event going through all four ongoing Dark Horse series.
