Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is an enhanced edition of the 2021 role-playing game Shin Megami Tensei V, the ninth entry in the Shin Megami Tensei series. It is developed by Atlus and was released worldwide on for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam on June 14, 2024. It was announced on February 21, 2024.

Vengeance features new story content and characters, modified battle gameplay, additional Demons, as well as quality of life changes. The game most notably features two story routes that can be chosen at the beginning: the "Canon of Creation", which features the original story presented in Shin Megami Tensei V; and "Canon of Vengeance", a new alternative story that diverges from the original in its latter half.

This version replaced Shin Megami Tensei V on the Nintendo eShop on June 14th 2024, making it the only version available to purchase.

A demo was released on November 14, after the game's June release, that allows progress to be carried over to the full game.
