Brigandine is a turn-based strategy game for the PlayStation video game console, created by developer Hearty Robin and released in 1998. It was released in North America by Atlus the same year, under the title Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena. In 2000, Hearty Robin released an expanded version of the game called Brigandine: Grand Edition, which included multiplayer support along with other new features. In the game, the player chooses one of the nations of the fictional continent of Forsena, and has the goal of conquering the other nations by taking their castles, using troops composed of humanoid commanders and fictional creatures. Although primarily a strategy game, it also includes some characteristics of tactical role-playing games.

A sequel titled Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia, developed by Matrix Software and published by Happinet, was released on the Nintendo Switch in June 2020.
