Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety is a 1995 beat 'em up video game and a sequel to Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage, released for Mega Drive/Genesis and Super NES and then ported to PC. One or two players team up as Spider-Man and Venom to defeat the evil symbiote Carnage. The game boasts many thugs that the player has to defeat: heavily armed Jury and Venom's symbiote children. There is also cameo assistance from Captain America, Ghost Rider, Hawkeye, and Daredevil.

The game is set to be re-released as part of the compilation Marvel MaXimum Collection on 2026.

The game received mediocre reviews, being criticized largely for its repetitiveness, unoriginality and lack of cutscenes.
