Shadow Man is a 1999 action-adventure video game developed by Acclaim Studios Teesside and published by Acclaim Entertainment.

Nightdive Studios re-released the game in September 2013 for Windows and OS X through digital platforms. They later created a remastered edition with enhanced visuals and restored features, launching on Windows in April 2021 and PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in January 2022.
Reviewers responded favorably to Shadow Man, especially noting its graphics, narrative, and overall style. The PlayStation version did receive criticism for technical issues. A follow-up titled Shadow Man: 2econd Coming appeared on PlayStation 2 in 2002. In 2023, a new game featuring Jack Boniface, Shadowman: Darque Legacy, was announced.
