USAAF Mustang is a horizontally scrolling shooter arcade game originally developed by NMK, and published by UPL in 1990. It was converted a year later to the Mega Drive by Taito, while being renamed Fire Mustang. NMK also developed the Mega Drive version.

There is only one type of available weapon and a bomb weapon. Players took on a fictional campaign in a World War II setting as a USAAF fighter pilot in a titular North American P-51 Mustang against the Nazi Luftwaffe and the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.

The arcade version was released on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in 2021 as part of the Arcade Archives series, marking the first official Hamster release in the west.
