ESWAT: Cyber Police or Cyber Police ESWAT, is a side-scrolling shooter game developed by Sega for the Sega System 16 arcade board in 1989.

In the game the player, a police officer (named Duke Oda in Japanese versions), navigates through the crime-ridden Liberty City, shooting and capturing criminals. He is eventually accepted to the Police Department's top unit, E-SWAT (Enhanced Special Weapons and Tactics) and given a powered exoskeleton to fight against powerful crime bosses who threated the city. Ultimate goal of the game is to apprehend "Balzar" a mad scientist (Arcade and Master System), or destroy E.Y.E., a super computer (Mega Drive).

Ports were made to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, Sega Master System and ZX Spectrum. A "sequel" or "remake" in the form of ESWAT: City Under Siege was released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1990.
