Sentai (戦隊) is a Japanese language word which may be literally translated as "task force" or "regiment". It is perhaps best known as the term used during World War II for an Imperial Japanese Army Air Service unit made up of two or more squadrons. A sentai was equivalent to a group or wing in other air forces. The term sentai was also used, to a lesser degree, in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.

More recently, the word has been used in the title of Super Sentai, a series of tokusatsu television programs, which is reconfigured for English-speaking audiences as Power Rangers. The term was also used in Lego Exo-Force, which is set on "Sentai Mountain".
