The following is a list of works by Japanese anime director, storyboard artist, writer, and animator Akiyuki Shinbo. The page is divided into sections for his work as a series/film director, his involvement with other productions in a smaller role (i.e. key animator), and his books. These sections are further divided by format: television series, original video animations, original net animations, and films.
For some of his works, Shinbo has used various pseudonyms, not all of which are likely known. The current list of known Shinbo pseudonyms is as follows: Jūhachi Minamizawa, Futoshi Shiiya, Sōji Homura, and Satoko Shindō. Much of his work also tends to be completely uncredited, in particular for storyboarding and episode directing duties that he performs on his own series. For these reasons, the full extent of Shinbo's work across the industry, and even his own works, is not known.
