Team Yankee is a video game adapaptation of the 1987 Harold Coyle's World War III novel Team Yankee that was developed by Oxford Digital Enterprises for the Amiga, Atari ST and DOS systems.

It was released in 1990 and published by Empire Interactive, and was followed by two sequels that used the same game engine (titled Pacific Islands and War in the Gulf). Team Yankee is a mixture of real-time strategy and simulation game and uses a 3D environment and 2D sprites. The player is able to use several well-known late Cold War-era tanks and other armoured vehicles (M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley IFV, M113, T-72, T-62 and BMP-2).

Team Yankee received mostly positive reviews in the top gaming magazines of the early 1990s.
