Shadow the Hedgehog (シャドウ・ザ・ヘッジホッグ Shadō za Hejjihoggu?), commonly known as Shadow '05, is a video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Sega Studio USA, an American division of Sonic Team, and published by Sega. Released for the Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles in late 2005, it is a spin-off game starring Sonic's rival, Shadow. The gameplay combines traditional Sonic elements with the introduction of third-person shooter mechanics and a nonlinear design, allowing Shadow to use various weapons to defeat enemies and influence the plot and level selection.

Sega Studio USA selected Shadow as the protagonist of the game to capitalize on his popularity. The game was written and directed by Takashi Iizuka, who aimed to appeal to an older audience by introducing a darker tone and elements normally considered inappropriate for the series. The storyline of the game unfolds during an invasion from an alien race known as the Black Arms, led by Black Doom. Shadow, suffering from amnesia, sets out to find the seven Chaos Emeralds to uncover the truth of his past as he encounters Sonic, his friends, and various factions fighting the alien threat. The game's nonlinear approach allows for multiple endings, ranging from Shadow aiding the heroes in defeating the aliens to assisting Black Doom in his conquest of Earth.

Shadow the Hedgehog received unfavorable reviews, with critics finding its mature elements ill-suited for a Sonic title. Also negatively received were the controls, weapon mechanics, and vehicle inclusion, with reviewers finding the latter two redundant. Despite polarized reactions on the level design, the game's replay value was praised. Shadow the Hedgehog nevertheless achieved commercial success, selling over two million copies across all platforms.
