Alien Hominid is a run and gun video game developed by The Behemoth and first released as a Flash game on the multimedia website Newgrounds on August 7, 2002. It was originally developed in Adobe Flash by programmer and Newgrounds founder, Tom Fulp, and animator and artist, Dan Paladin. It has since been re-released in several expanded and enhanced iterations for home consoles and computers.

The first re-release of Alien Hominid was with an expanded console version released on the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox in 2004 and 2005. A port for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Tuna Technologies, was released in 2006 for PAL territories. A high-definition version titled Alien Hominid 360 (formerly known as Alien Hominid HD) was released for Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade in 2007.[1] Another remaster, Alien Hominid HD, was released for Windows, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on November 1, 2023, alongside a sequel, Alien Hominid Invasion. It is also planned to release for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
