Space Mutiny is a 1988 American-South African science fiction film directed by Neal Sundstrom and starring Reb Brown, Cisse Cameron, Cameron Mitchell, James Ryan and John Phillip Law. Brown stars as a hotshot pilot who visits a large spaceship, and uncovers a conspiracy led by its seditious security officer (Law).

The film had a troubled production, which saw intended director David Winters replaced by his assistant Neal Sundstrom before filming commenced, although Winters remained credited for contractual reasons. After its release, Winters disowned the film.

Initial reviews generally described the film as being an entertaining, unintentionally funny, and campy sci-fi. Retrospective reviews have more often been derisive. It has earned notice for its sparse production values and continuity errors. It was later included in a popular episode of the TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000.
