A public procurator (Chinese: 公诉人;[1] 检察官[2]) is an officer of a state charged with both the investigation and prosecution of crime. The office is a feature of a civil law inquisitorial rather than common law adversarial system. Countries such as Japan , China , Russia and Indonesia adopt the procuratorial system.

The office of a procurator is called a procuracy or procuratorate.[3] The terms are from Latin and originate with the procurators of the Roman Empire.
