10	{{Teleportation}} can be achieved though many ways, as the TeleportationTropes show. Sometimes it's magic, other times, it's science, but for this trope, it's caused by being one of the PsychicPowers.
11
12	By being a psychic power, it must be used by a thinking being, and is powered by mental energy, unlike general {{Teleportation}} which has no requirement for specificity on power source or any quality of its users.
13
14	It also shares a prefix with other psychic powers like telekinesis, a.k.a MindOverMatter, and {{telepathy}}, which might be why some creators make teleportation a psychic power.
15
16	Compare MentalSpaceTravel and MentalTimeTravel, in which a character's mind travels without the body, though possibly through technological instead of psychic means.
17
18	ThoughtControlledPower-types are similar to this, but unless they're implied to be using some sort of "psychic energy" or, connected to more traditional PsychicPowers like telekinesis and telepathy, it doesn't count as this.

26	* A few espers from ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', notably Shirai Kuroko. There is a surprising amount of variety in the ability depending on the mental faculties of the user, too.
27
28	* Saiki Kusuo from ''Manga/TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK.'', [[ComicallyInvincibleHero naturally]]. Regardless of distance, all he needs is to have seen the place before and he can get there instantly.
29
30	* ''Manga/PsychicSquad'': Teleportation is a common Esper ability and is said to be the most advanced form of psychic abilities. Teleporters have a higher level of cognition of the area around them and are sensitive to spatial changes and distortions, with a powerful teleporter being able to locate other teleporters and shapes of nearby objects while blindfolded.

37	[[folder:Comic Books]]
38	* ''{{ComicBook/Lanfeust}}'': Everyone on the planet is OnePersonOnePower, that's due to being psychic, but was first described as magic. The powers are as varited as healing at night, melting metal, boiling and freezing water, or causing PottyFailure. The BigBad Thanos has the ability to teleport to any location he's seen previously, which he uses to good effect to impersonate that TinTyrant he's thought to be working for. This ability is later upgraded to teleporting to anywhere Lanfeust uses his Magohamoth powers, but he won't know where he's going (and once blindly teleported into the polar tundra, immediately coming back half-frozen demanding warm clothes).
39	* ''ComicBook/SpiderManBlackCatTheEvilThatMenDo'': Francis Klum can teleport and compel people to do whatever he wants. His later appearances show him displaying telekinesis.

43	[[folder:Literature]]
44	* "Ask a Foolish Question", a short story by Creator/RobertSheckley: To give an example for how different races can be, the story features one that teleports anywhere instantly, so a completely natural question for them is "If there is no distance, then how can things be in other places?"
45	* "Literature/TheBestPolicy" by Creator/RandallGarrett: Due to using ExactWords to evade a LieDetector:
46	--> "Is it true," asked Thagobar, "that your race has the ability to move through space by means of mental power alone?"\
47	For a moment, Magruder was stunned. It was beyond his wildest expectations. But he rallied quickly.\
48	[[spoiler:''How does a man walk?'']] he thought.\
49	"It is true that by using mental forces to control physical energy," he said carefully, "we are able to move from place to place without the aid of spaceships or other such machines."

58	* ''Literature/TowerAndTheHive'': Telepaths, or Talents as they're known here, have the ability to teleport, and the most powerful among them, T1s or Prime Talents, can transport entire ships across light years.
59	* ''Literature/WarlockOfGramarye'': GenderRestrictedAbility: Psis on Gramarye have sex-linked powers. Witches (women) are telekinetic, and Warlocks (men) can teleport and levitate themselves. The hero and his family are the only exceptions, due to not being entirely out of the same gene pool.
60	* ''Literature/TheWitling'' is set on a planet where nearly everybody has psychic powers, including the ability to teleport.

[[PowerIncontinence He doesn't have full control over it]] and can end up warping back to his orphanage in random locations...including the bathroom [[AccidentalPervert just as Taeko was taking a bath]](this is why the remake doesn't include the scene).
