Miles Edgeworth, known as Reiji Mitsurugi (Japanese: 御剣 怜侍, Hepburn: Mitsurugi Reiji) in original Japanese language versions, is a fictional prosecutor in Ace Attorney, a visual novel adventure video game series created by Japanese company Capcom. Initially introduced as a cold-hearted perfectionist, he appears as the antagonistic rival to main character Phoenix Wright in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2001). Following the events of the first game, the character has a change of heart and reappears as a friendly rival in most subsequent entries. He was created by Shu Takumi and designed by Tatsurō Iwamoto, being a character more difficult for Takumi to create compared to Phoenix. Edgeworth went on to star in two of his own spin-off games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (2009) and its sequel.

Edgeworth has also made appearances in extended Ace Attorney media, such as film and animation, as well as several cameo appearances in titles outside of the main Ace Attorney series. He has been generally well received by critics and fans, identified as one of the best new video game characters of the 2000s by GamesRadar+. The relationship between Phoenix and Edgeworth has also been the subject of critical commentary.
