Black Noir is the name of three supervillain characters from the comic book series The Boys, created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and the television series and franchise of the same name, developed by Eric Kripke. In both the comic and television series, Noir is a member of the hedonistic and reckless Vought-American superhero group the Seven and is depicted as a "silent ninja" type parody of Batman, Snake Eyes and Deathstroke.

In the comic series, Noir is revealed to be a clone of the Homelander and enhanced with Stormfront's DNA, created to replace him if he ever went rogue. Driven insane by a lack of purpose, Noir resolved to frame the Homelander for various atrocities as part of a plan to gradually drive him insane and replace him. However, he is ultimately killed by Billy Butcher. In the television series adaption, Noir, portrayed by Nathan Mitchell and Fritzy-Klevans Destine, is instead depicted as a brain-damaged African-American Supe named Earving, who is loyal to Vought CEO Stan Edgar. In The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Noir is depicted guiding the Homelander in his early career. Following Earving's death in the third season finale of the main series, Kripke confirmed in July 2022 that Mitchell would portray a replacement Noir in the upcoming fourth season of the series.
