Karous (カラス) is a vertically scrolling shoot-'em-up developed and published by Milestone Inc.. It was originally released on November 15, 2006 for the Sega NAOMI GD-ROM arcade platform, and was ported to the Sega Dreamcast. Upon its Japan-only launch on March 8, 2007, Karous became the last new game to be officially released on the Dreamcast.

The game was later ported to the Nintendo Wii as Karous Wii (カラスWii) with Sega as a publisher, then released internationally in a compilation with other Milestone games (UFO's "Ultimate Shooting Collection"). The game bears stylistic similarities to Milestone's previous Dreamcast release Radirgy, as they both use cel-shaded graphics and are of the same genre.
