Strike Commander is a combat flight simulation video game designed by Chris Roberts and released by Origin Systems for MS-DOS in 1993. Its 3D graphics-engine uses both gouraud shading and texture-mapping on both aircraft-models and terrain, an impressive feat at the time. Significant plot elements are presented through in-game cut-scene animations, a hallmark storytelling vehicle from Chris Robert's previous Wing Commander games. Strike Commander has been called "Privateer on Earth", due to the mercenary role-playing in the game.

The game was included as part of a 1994 Creative Labs bundle pack with Syndicate Plus, Ultima VIII: Pagan and Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi. It was also available in a CD bundle with Wing Commander: Privateer; both games included the core game, the expansion pack and voice pack on a single CD-ROM disc.

The game was re-released in 2013 on GOG.com with support for Windows.
