Galaxy Force (ギャラクシーフォース) is a 1988 arcade game developed by Sega AM2 for Sega Y Board hardware. It is similar to other games released by the company at around this time (After Burner, Thunder Blade), being a third-person on-the-rails shooter reliant on sprite scaling effects.

Following its arcade release, Galaxy Force was brought to the Sega Master System in 1989. Though built by Sega, Activision handled distribution in the US, and though not released in Japan, it has an FM sound track intended for use with the Japanese-only FM Sound Unit.

Similar to After Burner, Galaxy Force was followed by Galaxy Force II within the year. Galaxy Force II is largely the same game as Galaxy Force, but contains minor gameplay tweaks and bug fixes. As such and is often seen as the "definitive" version of the game, and so there are more home conversions of Galaxy Force II. In fact, Galaxy Force is very rarely mentioned by Sega - Galaxy Force II almost always gets priority.
