'''Phantom Thief Pokémon 7''' (Japanese: '''快盗!ポケモン7''' ''Phantom Thief! Pokémon 7''), is a one-volume [[Pokémon manga]] based on the {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} games. It is written by [[Miho Asada]], the author of the [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]] manga. A sequel manga, [[Phantom Thief! Pokémon V]], was later released. 

The series is about a young boy named [[Hiori]] who leads a double life as the mysterious thief known as "Pokémon 7". Pokémon 7, along with his trusty partner {{p|Lucario}}, retrieves stolen objects from other thieves and returns them to their rightful owners.

During the day, Hiori works at the bread shop "[[Sun Sun]]". He poses as a mild-mannered boy with limited battling prowess, purposely hiding his Lucario's fighting power and his strategic ability, defending himself by saying he hates battling. His co-worker, [[Nazuna]], has fallen in love with Pokémon 7, but doesn't think highly of Hiori. The series seems to deal with Pokémon 7's various encounters with criminals while Hiori tries desperately to keep his secret identity safe from Mako, a magazine reporter eager to uncover Pokémon 7's true identity. However, the story quickly develops into a conflict between Hiori, his self-proclaimed [[rival]] [[Rocco]], and [[Team Galactic]], in order to rescue Hiori's kidnapped twin sister, {{OBP|Lily|Pokémon 7}}.

The series follows the conventions of various other ''Kaitou'' stories which feature daring and stylish criminals who steal from other criminals, such as ''{{wp|Magic Kaito}}'' and ''{{wp|Saint Tail}}''.
