Midnight Resistance (ミッドナイトレジスタンス, Middonaito Rejisutansu) is a side-scrolling run and gun video game released in arcades by Data East in 1989. Midnight Resistance is set in a dystopian future where the player controls a member of a resistance movement who goes on a mission to rescue his kidnapped family from a drug kingpin.

It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991 as Data East's first video game for the console. The game was also adapted by Ocean Software to home computers.
