Velvet Assassin is a stealth video game developed by Replay Studios and published by SouthPeak Games. Prior to release, the name was known by the tentative title Sabotage 1943. It was released for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 in 2009 and on the Mac App Store in 2013. Velvet Assassin's working title was Sabotage.

The game's story was inspired by a real-life secret agent/saboteur Violette Szabo.
