Twin Cobra, known as Kyuukyoku Tiger (究極タイガー) in Japan, is a 1987 arcade shoot-'em-up by Toaplan ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 and released only in the US and Japan. The US packaging calls the game Twin Cobra: Desert Attack Helicopter, and in Brazil the packaging simply calls it Desert Attack Helicopter.

In 1995 it received a sequel, Twin Cobra II/Kyuukyoku Tiger II, which would be ported to the Sega Saturn and released in Japan as Kyuukyoku Tiger II Plus.
