Hello! Project Mobekimasu (ハロー!プロジェクトモベキマス), also romanized as Hello! Project Mobecumas, was a concert unit under Hello! Project that began in 2010, following the end of Elder Club and Wonderful Hearts. It consisted of 5 major Hello! Project acts: Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, ℃-ute, Mano Erina and S/mileage. The name comes from the 1st syllable of each of the artists names:
- Morning Musume (モ)
- Berryz Koubou (ベ)
- ℃-ute (Kiyuuto) (キ)
- Mano Erina (マ)
- S/mileage (Sumaireji) (ス)
In 2011, Hello! Project Mobekimasu participated as a one-time special unit similar to H.P. All Stars. They released "Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku" in November 2011.
In 2013, the concert unit was disbanded with Mano Erina's graduation from Hello! Project. Since then, there has not been an official concert unit.

Trivia
- Is the third Hello! Project unit to feature over 30 members, the others being H.P. All Stars and Hello Pro Kenshuusei.
- The 10th Generation of Morning Musume only participated in the live performances of Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku. Since they joined Hello! Project after the debut single came out, they are not featured in the music video for this reason.
- S/mileage was the only original unit from Mobekimasu that joined while still being a Kenshuusei unit.
- Beginning in July 2013, the MBCMS channel was temporarily taken down, though all their videos are still available to watch.
