Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a 2016 platform video game developed and published by WayForward Technologies. It is the fourth game in the Shantae series, following Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (2014), originally released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Windows, and Xbox One and later ported to Nintendo Switch, Amazon Luna, Stadia, and PlayStation 5.

The game was funded via Kickstarter, and although the campaign ended in October 2013, WayForward still accepted donations via PayPal on its website up to December 2014, raising over US$900,000.
