Streets of Rage (titled Bare Knuckle in Japan) is a series of side-scrolling beat 'em up video games, centering on the efforts of several ex-police vigilantes trying to rid the fictional American metropolis of Wood Oak City from a crime syndicate that has corrupted its local government. The first three games in the franchise were developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis in the early 1990s and have since been ported and re-released on various platforms. A fourth entry was released in 2020.

The games were well-received and have been re-released many times both on compilations and as standalone games. The electronic dance music soundtracks of the games, scored primarily by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, have also received much praise.
