Thunder Cross (サンダークロス) is a horizontally scrolling shooter arcade video game released by Konami in 1988. A sequel, Thunder Cross II, was published in 1991. Owing to several similarities, Space Manbow (1989) may also be considered a spin-off.

In 2007, Thunder Cross was included as part of the Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono budget series on the PlayStation 2 in Japan.[1] It was later released as part of the Arcade Archives series on PlayStation 4 in Japan in 2017[2] and Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2021,[3] and was added to Konami's Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo Switch in 2019.[4]
