The Ninja (Japanese: 忍 Ninja) is a basic class debuting in Fire Emblem Fates. Similar to thieves from earlier games, ninja are weak in direct combat, but they possess the unique ability to pick open locks and chests. If challenged, they use shurikens to defend themselves, but are generally best served avoiding combat, owing to their low strength and defense. As their main weapons are shurikens, weapons that decrease enemies' stats, Ninjas also serve well as support units to weaken opposing units to allow their allies to deal easier blows or decrease the damage they take.

Ninja may promote to either Mechanists or Elite Ninja.
