Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is an American superhero drama that serves as the first, second, and third installments of the long-lasting Power Rangers franchise. Based on the 16th Super Sentai season Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger, it aired for three seasons on Fox Kids from August 28, 1993 to February 17, 1996, with monster and zord footage from the second and third seasons sourced from Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ninja Sentai Kakuranger respectively instead. The exception would be the inclusion of the White Ranger into the show's second season, whose suit is a direct port of KibaRanger from Dairanger.

The show revolves around a group of five "teenagers with attitude" that would become the first team of Power Rangers on Earth, led by their mentor Zordon and his robotic assistant Alpha 5 against the evil witch Rita Repulsa and her minions, who were accidentally freed from their confinement on the moon where Zordon previously defeated them 10,000 years before the series. Over the course of the show, Rita would be aided by Lord Zedd, the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Evil" and later Rita's husband, Rito Revolto, Rita's incompetent brother who at first managed to destroy the Thunderzords and the Ranger's powers, and Master Vile, Rita's father, who forced them to find new powers after losing their old ones.

However, the main five rangers would also be joined by many allies of their own; the first being Tommy Oliver, who was originally the evil Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, corrupted by Rita, before being broken free of her spell and joining the other Rangers, later becoming the White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger after the Green Ranger powers expired, Ninjor, who aided them in restoring their powers after Rito destroyed them, and the Aquitar Rangers, who took their place in the fight against Rita after Master Vile reverted them to children and they sought out the Zeo Crystals.

In the second season of series and on, Jason, Trini, and Zack would be replaced by Rocky DeSantos, Aisha Campbell, and Adam Park respectively when the former three left for a world peace conference. In the third season, Kimberly would be replaced by Katherine Hillard respectively in order for the former to pursue her athletic dreams.

In 2010, the series was re-aired on ABC Kids with some "revisions" done to it, such as adding comic book effects (sound bubbles and effects when someone was hit, freeze frames that had comic book overlays, etc.) to the episodes and a new logo. This series was cancelled early at 32 episodes due to negative reception, and Saban re-acquiring the rights to the series. On online streaming websites or in some foreign countries, some episodes also have minor differences in them. These differences are outlined here. The revision episodes aired from January 2 to August 28.

The series then received a 30th anniversary special in 2023, titled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always.
