Ghost Squad (ゴースト・スカッド) is a 2004 light gun arcade game developed by Sega AM2 for the Sega Chihiro arcade board. It was released on the Wii three years later, making use of the Wiimote as a light gun; in Japan, a version bundled with one, Ghost Squad Wii Zapper Doukoriban (ゴースト・スカッド Wiiザッパー同梱版), was also released.

Players can purchase an IC card at some arcades, which is used to save unlockable items and scores.

An updated version of the game, Ghost Squad Evolution, was released in 2007 exclusively in arcades.

In 2011, the game got a sequel, Operation G.H.O.S.T., which itself got an updated version in Target Bravo: Operation G.H.O.S.T., which was released in 2016. Both the sequel and its updated version were released exclusively in arcades.
