The '''Merchant''' (商人, ''Shounin'') is an infrequently occurring vocation in the early games in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Merchants have the ability to pick up additional gold after a battle, as well as appraise items free of charge. In battle, merchants are only average in attack and defense, slightly better than a [[Priest]]. In ''Dragon Quest III'', this is the only vocation required to advance the plot.

The Merchant is one of the prerequisites for the [[Ranger]] vocation (along with [[Monster Master]] and [[Thief]]). Though the vocation reduces most of a character's stats, a Merchant will gain additional gold at the end of battle as their rank increases.
