Jagged Alliance is a 1995 tactical role-playing game, developed by Madlab Software, and published by Sir-Tech for MS-DOS. The game focuses on players leading a team of mercenaries as they work together to liberate an island, a former nuclear testing site, that provides a remarkable medicinal sap, which a former assistant of a research team seeks to profit from. Players have access to a wide variety of mercenaries and equipment, and must micro-manage security, harvesting, alongside exploring and securing each part of the game's setting.

Jagged Alliance received positive reviews from critics and proved a commercial success, spawning the Jagged Alliance series. The game was re-released in 2008 on GOG.com and in 2010 on GamersGate, both with Windows support, while an adapted version for Nintendo DS was released in 2009.
