All Monsters Attack (Japanese: ゴジラ・ミニラ・ガバラ オール怪獣大進撃, Hepburn: Gojira Minira Gabara Ōru Kaijū Dai-shingeki, lit. Godzilla, Minilla, and Gabara: All Monsters Attack) is a 1969 Japanese kaiju film directed by Ishirō Honda, written by Shinichi Sekizawa, and produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka. The film, which was produced and distributed by Toho Co., Ltd, is the tenth film in the Godzilla series, and features the fictional monster characters Godzilla, Minilla, and Gabara. The film stars Tomonori Yazaki, Kenji Sahara, and Hideyo Amamoto, with special effects by Honda and Teruyoshi Nakano, and features Haruo Nakajima as Godzilla, Marchan the Dwarf as Minilla, and Yasuhiko Kakuyuki as Gabara.

All Monsters Attack was released theatrically in Japan on December 20, 1969. It received a theatrical release in the United States in 1971 by Maron Films, under the title Godzilla's Revenge, on a double bill with the 1967 film Night of the Big Heat. It has received generally negative reviews for its tone, characters and extensive use of flashback footage from previous Godzilla films; many critics and audience retrospectively consider it to be one of the worst Godzilla films,[4][5][6] although Honda viewed it as one of his favorites.

The film was followed by the 11th film in the Godzilla franchise, Godzilla vs. Hedorah, released on July 24, 1971.
