Team Yankee is a 1990 real-time strategy simulation computer wargame developed by Oxford Digital Enterprises and published by Empire Software for Amiga, Atari ST, MS-DOS, and Commodore CDTV. Based on Harold Coyle's novel and board game of the same name, the game depicts a World War III scenario between the United States and the Soviet Union from an armoured warfare perspective.

Gameplay is conducted both from a map of the area and in a 3D environment with 2D sprites. The game features numerous iconic Cold War-era armoured fighting vehicles, including the M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, M113, T-62, T-72, and BMP-2, among others.

Team Yankee was released to somewhat negative reception from critics for its "arcade-like" gameplay and its lack of infantry or military aircraft. The game received two sequels, Pacific Islands in 1992 and War in the Gulf in 1993.
