Medal of Honor is a series of first-person shooter video games created by American film director and producer Steven Spielberg. The first game, Medal of Honor, was developed by DreamWorks Interactive and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1999. It spawned a series of follow-up games including multiple expansions spanning various console platforms and PCs.

The first twelve installments take place during World War II, as does the fifteenth. The main characters are usually elite members of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), while some of the later games focus on modern warfare. The concept, story, and executive production of the first three games were overseen by Spielberg, who later sold the franchise to Electronic Arts in February 2000. The music in the franchise was composed by Michael Giacchino, Christopher Lennertz and Ramin Djawadi.
