P-47: The Phantom Fighter is a 1988 horizontally scrolling shooter video game developed by NMK and published by Jaleco for arcades. Set during World War II, players control a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft to face against the Nazis, who are occupying multiple countries around the world. Its gameplay involves destroying waves of enemies, picking up power-ups and new weapons, and destroying bosses. It ran on the Mega System 1 hardware.

P-47: The Phantom Fighter was ported to home consoles and personal computers; a conversion for the Sega Mega Drive was in development, but did not receive an official release until 2025 by City Connection, Jaleco's successor. The game received positive reviews from critics, while the home ports garnered mixed response from magazines. A sequel, P-47 Aces, was released in 1995.
