Universal Interactive (formerly Universal Interactive Studios until 2001) was an American video game publisher. The company was established on January 4, 1994, and led by Skip Paul and Robert Biniaz of MCA. It was best known for producing the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro platform game franchises.

In 2000, the merger of Vivendi and Universal Studios consolidated the division into Vivendi's Havas Interactive, which was renamed Vivendi Universal Games the next year. Universal Interactive continued as a label until 2003, when Vivendi began divesting ownership of Universal Studios, retaining the newly renamed Vivendi Games.
