Star Fox 64 (スター フォックス 64, Sutā Fokkusu 64), known as Lylat Wars in Australia and Europe (due to trademark issues), is a video game for the Nintendo 64 console. It was released in Japan on April 27, 1997, in North America on July 1, 1997, and in Europe on October 20, 1997. It was later ported to the China-only iQue Player on November 21, 2003. It is the third game in Nintendo's Star Fox series, and the first to be released on the Nintendo 64. It was later released on the Wii Virtual Console.

The planned second game in the series for the SNES, Star Fox 2, was scrapped due to the upcoming release of the Nintendo 64, but some of its features were used in Star Fox 64, such as all range mode and encounters with Star Wolf. It was the first game to introduce support for the Rumble Pak and was in fact advertised heavily alongside the new device. The game received positive ratings from reviewers who praised its smooth animation, detailed visuals, and use of multiple gameplay paths.
