Metaltech: Earthsiege is a mecha-style simulation video game developed by Dynamix and released in 1994. Earthsiege is the first in a long line of video games in the Earthsiege universe, which contains Earthsiege 2 (1995) and Metaltech: Battledrome (1995), as well as action game Hunter Hunted (1996), strategy games MissionForce: CyberStorm (1997) and Cyberstorm 2: Corporate Wars (1998), direct sequel mecha-simulation Starsiege (1999), and first-person shooters Starsiege: Tribes (1999), Tribes 2 (2001), Tribes: Vengeance (2004) and Tribes: Ascend (2012).

In Earthsiege, players are placed in the cockpit of various massive bipedal war machines known as HERCULANs (Humaniform-Emulation Roboticized Combat Unit with Leg-Articulated Navigation) (or 'HERCs' for short). Set in the 25th or 26th century, Earthsiege is a technologically advanced setting with many futuristic weapons and vehicles. Earthsiege takes place across North America, South America, Antarctica, and Asia.

In 2015, Earthsiege was released as freeware by Hi-Rez Studios.
