Maneater is an action role-playing game developed and published by Tripwire Interactive. The player assumes control of a female bull shark who must evolve and survive in an open world so she can take revenge on a fisherman who disfigured her as a pup and killed her mother.

Maneater was released for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in May 2020, for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in November, for Nintendo Switch in May 2021, and for iOS and Android in December 2025. It was a commercial success, surpassing 14 million units in sales. Downloadable content, Truth Quest, was released in August 2021. Set after the main story, it follows the shark as she travels to a mysterious experiment site and confronts a radioactive monster causing chaos around Port Clovis.
