Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children (機動戦士ガンダム 逆襲のシャア―ベルトーチカ・チルドレン Kidō Senshi Gandamu Gyakushū no Shā - Berutōchika Chirudoren?) is a 1988 novel written by Yoshiyuki Tomino and illustrated by Haruhiko Mikimoto.
The original storyline proposed by Tomino for the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack movie was rejected and released instead as this novel. While both Beltorchika's Children and the Char's Counterattack movie are based on the same reference material, the novel Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer, there are notable differences.
The novel was adapted as a 7 volumes manga Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children from 2014 to 2018.

Plot Differences[]
- The Sazabi is replaced by the Nightingale.
- While Amuro's Gundam is still referred to as "ν Gundam" in the text, the illustrations that accompany the novel as drawn by Yutaka Izubuchi are referenced as "Hi-ν" to differentiate that interpretation from the movie and Hi-Streamer rendition and to provide a complement name for the Nightingale.
- The Jagd Doga is replaced with the MSN-03-2 Psycho Doga.
- Instead of Chan Agi in the RGZ-91 Re-GZ intentionally killing Quess Paraya, pilot of the NZ-333 α Azieru, it is instead Hathaway Noa in a stolen RGM-89 Jegan who accidentally kills Quess. This would prompt Hathaway to join the anti-Federation terrorist group known as Mafty over a decade later as told in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash novel.
