过劳死，源自日语，是一种职业性的突然死亡，其原因为由压力引起的心脏病发作或者中风所导致的。第一宗有纪录的过劳死个案发生于日本，当中一名工作在日本最大的报纸公司二十九岁的海外运输部男员工，在他工作期间突然中风身亡。事件最初不为留意，直到1980年代泡沫经济爆破，同公司几位较高职位的行政人员正值他们的黄金时间，却在没有明显疾病的情况下猝死。当地传媒马上针对事件报道，并很快把这种现象称为“过劳死”。在1987年，由于过劳死现象的到广泛关注，日本劳动省不得不就因工猝死的人数作出统计。
Karōshi (過労死, karōshi?), which can be translated quite literally from Japanese as "death from overwork", is occupational sudden death. Although this category has a significant count, Japan is one of the few countries that reports it in the statistics as a separate category. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.
The first case of karōshi was reported in 1969 with the death from a stroke of a 29-year-old male worker in the shipping department of Japan's largest newspaper company. It was not until the latter part of the 1980s, during the Bubble Economy, however, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their prime years suddenly died without any previous sign of illness, that the media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon. This new phenomenon was quickly labeled karōshi and was immediately seen as a new and serious menace for people in the work force. In 1987, as public concern increased, the Japanese Ministry of Labour began to publish statistics on karōshi.
