Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (formerly known as Universal Soldier: A New Dimension) is a 2012 American science fiction action film co-written, co-edited and directed by John Hyams. The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Scott Adkins and Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski. It is the fourth theatrical installment in the Universal Soldier series.

The film acts as a semi-sequel to its 2009 predecessor, Universal Soldier: Regeneration and likewise, is unrelated to the two television sequels and ignores the events of the 1999 theatrical sequel Universal Soldier: The Return. In the film, a young former military man named John awakens from a coma and finds out that his wife and daughter were murdered in a home invasion, and goes on a personal vendetta against the man behind the incident which revealed to be Luc Deveraux, the nefarious Universal Soldier from the first two films who now became a powerful terrorist military leader.

Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning was released on November 30, 2012, in the United States. The film grossed $1.5 million against production budget of only $8 million. A planned sequel was set to be released on 2016, but was ultimately cancelled.

John (Scott Adkins) awakens from a coma to find that his wife and daughter were brutally murdered in a home invasion. With the help of FBI Agent Gorman (Rus Blackwell), the still amnesiac John identifies the perpetrator as former Universal Soldier (UniSol) Luc Deveraux (Jean-Claude Van Damme), now a wanted man. Meanwhile, a sleeper agent named Magnus (Andrei "The Pit Bull" Arlovski), one of the cloned Next Generation UniSols from Regeneration working undercover as a plumber, is activated. Magnus reaches a brothel and kills all the women working there and most of the patrons, a group of men with exceptional physical resistance. His last adversary, a clone of UniSol Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren) and Deveraux's former nemesis, negotiates Magnus and injects him with a serum that frees him from government control. Magnus is introduced to a separatist group led by Deveraux and Scott, who are taking in wayward UniSols to turn them against the government that created them, thus establishing a new order ruled by UniSols.
