Black Eagle is a 1988 American action film directed by Eric Karson and starring Sho Kosugi, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Kane Kosugi. It was shot on the Mediterranean island of Malta. The film was released in the United States on May 19, 1988.

Ken Tani (Sho Kosugi), a martial artist and special operative for the American government codenamed "Black Eagle", is summoned by his superiors after an F-111 carrying an experimental black ops laser tracking device was shot down over Malta by Russian forces. A group of elite KGB agents led by Colonel Vladimir Klimenko and his brutal and enigmatic right-hand man Andrei (Jean-Claude Van Damme) have been dispatched to Malta to retrieve the device for their own ends. Tani, alongside CIA agent Patricia Parker (Doran Clark) and his sons Brian (Kane Kosugi) and Denny (Shane Kosugi) travel to Malta to find the device before Andrei does, leading to an eventual face-to-face encounter.

Critics gave the movie a mixed reception overall.
