Phantoms (ファントム) are the antagonists that appear in the 2012-2013 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Wizard. Born from within the bodies of despairing Gates, a Phantom proceeds to destroy the Gate's Underworld before bursting from the host. Unlike the humanoid Phantoms that emerge from a Gate, the inner Phantoms are more monstrous in form. Each Phantom has a form based on a monster from various mythologies.

Phantoms can only defeated by Wizard and Beast, as they are strong enough to kill Phantoms. When Phantoms are attacked by a finisher, they usually create a Wizard or Beast symbol before exploded. Phantoms are also have color emblems that correspond Phantoms rank. The color emblems color are:
 * Blue: Those Phantoms with this color emblem are usually weak and may lose to Wizard in Basic Styles, despite being the largest number.
 * Red: Those Phantoms with this color emblem usually an attack actively type that are quite stronger than the blue emblems.
 * Green: Those Phantoms with this color emblem usually have flight ability with combat capabilities.
 * Yellow: Those Phantoms with this color emblem usually are a very defensive type, despite their offensive skills not being strong.

The Phantoms created on the day of the solar eclipse follow the orders of a mysterious figure called the Wiseman who gives them the task to find more Gates and place them in despair so that more of their kind can be created. However, Kamen Rider Wizard stands in their way of sacrificing more humans. But when it's too late to stop a Gate from falling into despair, Wizard must use an Engage Wizard Ring to enter the wearer's Underworld and destroy the manifested inner Phantom, in turn turning the Gate into a normal human.

The Phantoms also use familiars called Ghouls, which are created from magic stones and serve as the Phantoms' foot soldiers.

So far several of the phantoms such as Caitsith and Lizardman have shown little personal interest in creating more gates. Preferring to fufill their own desires until forced to take action by Pheonix or Medusa.
