Starship Troopers is a board wargame by Avalon Hill based on the novel of the same name by Robert A. Heinlein. It was originally released in 1976 and designed by Randall C. Reed. Avalon Hill redesigned and re-released a "movie" version in 1997 to coincide with the movie's release.

The game is a hexagon-based wargame for two players. The player who takes the side of 'the bugs' has a sheet of paper with a copy of the map-board on which he plots out his bug-hive and tunnel system. The human player sends in his infantry and tries to dig them out. A third party humanoid race, "the skinnies," starts out playing on the bug side, but switches to the human side during later scenarios.
