Independence Day (often subtitled as Independence Day: The Game) is a 1997 Sega Saturn game based on the movie of the same name.

In the game, the player controls various aircraft who must engage in dogfights with aliens and take out the "primary weapons" of the alien motherships within a certain time. It was one of the first 3D shooters of this nature for home consoles, though, like the film, saw mixed reviews from critics.

As with the film, Independence Day was known during development as ID4, as Fox did not initially have the rights to use the name "Independence Day". At the time, the name was owned by Warner Bros. following their 1983 film of the same name.
