nihongo|"Future Police Urashiman"|未来警察ウラシマン|Mirai Keisatsu Urashiman is a science fiction anime series by Tatsunoko Productions, created in 1983. It ran from January 9 to December 24, 1983, on Fuji TV. It was later released in the United States, Germany, France, and Italy. In France he was known as "Super Durand" (i.e. "Super Jones" or "Super Smith").

The story tells of a young man and his cat who are being pursued by the police during a particularly stormy night in a city in 1983. The young man suddenly drives his car right into the middle of a cyclone and is caught in a space/time anomaly. As a result they end up in the year 2050.

Suffering from complete memory loss, the young man has no idea who he is or where he comes from. But he soon finds that he is being pursued by the army-like forces of Neocrime, a top criminal organisation led by Count Ludwig who answers to the enigmatic Generalissimo Fuller. Taking the name Rico Urashiman, the young man joins the police force and fights back against Neocrime, using a high-tech mobile HQ and body-armour, though he himself insists on using a Volkswagen Beetle-like car with four wheels in contrast to the flying cars of the time.

He is joined in the fight by Claude, a fellow officer with whom he has a far-from-friendly relationship, and Sophia, a disillusioned ex-nun.
