UQ Holder! (later titled UQ Holder!: Magister Negi Magi! 2 [1]) is a manga series by Ken Akamatsu. Set in the same universe of his previous work Mahou Sensei Negima, but over 70 years later, it follows the adventures of a young Touta Konoe, a boy who is transformed into a vampire and joins a secret society composed of immortal beings.

UQ (ユーキュー Yūkyū?) stands for 悠久 ("eternity"), the kanji that entwines inside the UQ logo, which alludes to the immortal nature of the characters.

The series is set in the year 2086, several decades after the events of Mahou Sensei Negima and ten years after magic is revealed to the world. Tōta Konoe is a young boy who is mortally wounded by a bounty hunter coming after his guardian Yukihime's life, who reveals herself as a vampire and saves him by transforming Tōta into one of her kind. Tōta discovers then that Yukihime is none other than the legendary vampire and magician Evangeline A.K. McDowell and joins her covenant of immortal beings, the secret society known as "UQ Holder".
