The Tribulation Force is a Christian-based group comprised of those left behind after the Rapture, as portrayed in the fiction series Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins.

In a series of events that followed the Rapture, in which Jesus Christ takes away members of his church from Earth, Rayford Steele, Chloe Steele, Buck Williams and Bruce Barnes find themselves left behind. Eventually they meet at New Hope Village Church, located in the suburbs of Chicago. They then meet from time to time and become immersed in study of prophecies contained in the Bible. Their study reveals that the Antichrist will establish control of the Earth, and the Tribulation period lasting seven years will start after his covenant with Israel. Jesus Christ's second coming will fall on the end of the Tribulation.

In the course of their study, they form a core group Chloe Steele christens the "Tribulation Force", dedicated to fight the seven years' war with the Antichrist. This group of believers, as well as others left behind but becoming believers, are otherwise known as "Tribulation Saints", to differentiate from the pre-Rapture designation of Christian. Over time some members of the Force become martyrs and others join. At the end only one of the original members live to witness the Glorious Appearing, although others are resurrected afterwards.

Members of the Tribulation Force includes:
