Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (known as Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction in most PAL countries, or Ratchet & Clank Future) is a 2007 third-person shooter platform video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It is the fifth main installment of the Ratchet & Clank series and the first to not be released on the PlayStation 2 or PlayStation Portable. It is the first installment of the series' Future saga. It was also one of the first PlayStation 3 games to support DualShock 3 rumble without any accessories.

Tools of Destruction received critical acclaim upon release, with praise for the game's engaging gameplay and graphics, but criticism for its technical issues. The game was nominated for several awards from gaming publications and was considered a commercial success.
