QuackShot Starring Donald Duck[a] (also simply known as QuackShot), released in Japan as QuackShot Gurujia-ō no Hihō (QuackShot グルジア王の秘宝, QuackShot The Treasure of the King Garuzia), is a 1991 platforming video game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. The game was released in Europe in 1991, in North America on December 19, 1991, and in Japan the following day. QuackShot stars Donald Duck and his three nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, as treasure-hunters. The game was influenced by the Indiana Jones film series.

QuackShot was released with a positive response from video game publications. The game was universally lauded for its graphics, with magazines like Sega Pro describing them as "some of the best graphics around", and the game was also praised for its music and puzzles. However, the game was criticized for its overall lack of difficulty and the controls in certain situations. Retrospectively, QuackShot was also criticized for its lack of speech samples by IGN.
