Atomic Heart is a 2023 first-person shooter game developed by Mundfish Studio, which styles itself as an international company headquartered in Cyprus and development offices in Abu Dhabi and Yerevan. Published by VK Play, Focus Entertainment, and 4Divinity.

The game is set in an alternate history version of the Soviet Union, during the 1950s. Initially depicted as a retrofuturistic utopia, the game follows the quick collapse of the Soviet Union into a dystopia, after a robot uprising begins.

The game received mixed reviews from critics, and received controversy over its reported links to Russia.
