Jungle Strike is a video game developed and published by Electronic Arts in 1993 for the Sega Genesis. The game was later released for the Super NES and an enhanced version for MS-DOS. A 1994 Amiga version was developed by Ocean Software, the Super NES and MS-DOS versions developed by Gremlin Interactive, and portable console versions by Black Pearl Software. It is the direct sequel to Desert Strike (a best-seller released the previous year) and is the second installment in the Strike series. The game is a helicopter-based shoot 'em up, mixing action and strategy. The plot concerns two villains intent on destroying Washington, D.C. The player must use the helicopter and occasionally other vehicles to thwart their plans.

Its game engine was carried over from an unsuccessful attempt at a flight simulator and was inspired by Matchbox toys and Choplifter. Jungle Strike retained its predecessor's core mechanics and expanded on the model with additional vehicles and settings. The game was well received by most critics upon release. Publications praised its gameplay, strategy, design, controls and graphics.
