Otomedius (オトメディウス, Otomediusu^?) is a side scrolling shooter by Konami which featured personification of space fighters from various Konami games. The main characters are mostly females, designed by Mine Yoshizaki, with a set of equipment resembling space fighters from side-scroller games by the same company like Gradius, Salamander, Thunder Cross, TwinBee or Xexex. The name is a pun, being a portmanteau of the terms "otome" (meaning "maiden" in Japanese) and "Gradius". The music was composed by Hiroki Koga.

It received an Xbox 360 port titled Otomedius Gorgeous! (オトメディウスゴージャス!, Otomediusu Gōjasu!^?), or Otomedius G (オトメディウスG, Otomediusu Jī^?) for short.
