The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning is a 2006 action-adventure video game in the Spyro series. It is the first installment in The Legend of Spyro trilogy. The game was released for the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and mobile.

It features the voice talents of Elijah Wood as Spyro, Gary Oldman as Ignitus, David Spade as Sparx, and Cree Summer as Cynder.

A New Beginning received mixed reviews overall, being praised for its story and presentation, but was criticized for its repetitive gameplay and the lack of attack variety in Spyro's moveset, and the GBA version received generally negative reviews for its visuals, short length and repetitive combat.

The game was followed by The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night in 2007.
