Dark Riders (ダークライダー), alternatively referred as Yami no Riders (闇のライダー) are a subcategory of villainous Kamen Riders. These riders are usually evil copies, or counterparts, that may resemble or have their powers based off a Kamen Rider, with their design adopting a darker color scheme of the main Riders' colors.

The name originated from the group of Riders from the World of Negatives in Kamen Rider Decade and Team Dark Rider in. Most Dark Riders appear in either movies or specials, although more made regular appearances in the TV series.
