Kousoku Sentai Turboranger (高速戦隊ターボレンジャー, Kōsoku Sentai Tāborenjā; English title: Turbo Rangers) is a Japanese television tokusatsu series broadcast by TV Asahi. The series is the thirteenth installment of Super Sentai. Directed by Shohei Tojo, Takao Nagaishi, Kiyoshi Arai and Masao Minowa.

It aired from February 25, 1989 to February 23, 1990, replacing Choujyu Sentai Liveman and was replaced by Chikyu Sentai Fiveman. Turboranger was also the first Super Sentai series to air on Friday instead of Saturday.
During its initial run, Turboranger was the 11th Super Sentai and billed as the tenth-anniversary title of the Super Sentai series (as Battle Fever J was designated as the first Super Sentai series from 1988 to 1994 after the exclusion of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai due to rights issues with Shotaro Ishinomori). However, in 1995, Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. were included into the Super Sentai series once more, thus making Turboranger the 13th in the franchise.
