Stargate SG-1: The Alliance is a cancelled first and third person shooter video game based around the television series Stargate SG-1. The game had been intended for release on Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Windows. Set during the eighth season of Stargate SG-1, players would have taken control of the four original characters from the television series; General Jack O'Neill, Colonel Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.

MGM awarded developer Perception Pty the Stargate license in 2003. Perception selected JoWooD Productions Software AG to distribute the title and in 2005 JoWood brought Namco on board to publish the game in the United States. Perception and JoWood ended their relationship in August 2005 due to disputes regarding payment, quality of the game and failure to meet deadlines. Perception continued to develop the game until January 2006 when they were forced to cancel after MGM failed to approve a new publisher. Perception and JoWood were embroiled in multiple lengthy legal disputes regarding ownership of the game license, money owed as well as accusations of libel.

By the time development ceased, the game had reached the alpha build stage of development, with much of the game in a playable state. Different builds of the project have both leaked online or been given to specific individuals.
