Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a 2011 third-person shooter developed by Vicious Cycle Software, and published by D3 Publisher, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows. It is a spin-off entry in the Japanese Earth Defense Force series, and is essentially an American take on the premise, following the titular Earth Defense Force as they deploy to fight an invasion of aliens and giant insects in the United States. Insect Armageddon has no story or setting connection to the numbered Earth Defense Force series.

Insect Armageddon was released to mixed but generally positive reviews from critics.
