Psylocke es el nombre de dos superhéroes mutantes ficticios conectados que aparecen en los cómics publicados por Marvel Comics, comúnmente en asociación con los X-Men.

El primer personaje en usar el apodo de Psylocke, Betsy Braddock, fue un personaje secundario en historias centradas en su hermano gemelo Brian, adoptando el nombre en clave al unirse a los X-Men. Durante 29 años de historia de publicación, el personaje fue intercambiado en la historia con el asesino Kwannon. Kwannon tomó el apodo para convertirse en la segunda Psylocke después de que ambas mujeres regresaran a sus respectivos cuerpos y Braddock reclamara el manto de Capitán Britania.

Además de su presencia en numerosos títulos de equipo relacionados con X a lo largo de las décadas, ambas iteraciones de Psylocke han aparecido en varias series limitadas y one-shots. En 1997, Betsy Braddock, como Psylocke, apareció en la serie de cuatro números Psylocke y Archangel: Crimson Dawn. Además, protagonizó el one-shot X-Men: Sword of the Braddocks #1 en 2009 y la serie en solitario de cuatro números X-Men: Psylocke en 2010. Durante la Era Krakoana, Kwannon como Psylocke apareció en varios cómics en equipo como Hellions (2020) y Marauders (2022) y luego protagonizó el one-shot X-Men: Blood Hunt – Psylocke #1 en 2024. Como parte del relanzamiento de X-Men: From the Ashes, Kwannon como Psylocke protagonizará una nueva serie en solitario que comenzará en noviembre de 2024.
