The Sniper Truck film series consists of three films, based on part on the character of Jack Truck, and the book Sniper Truck, both by Brendan M. Leonard. The films follow sniper John Truck (renamed from the novels) and his encounters with the technological terrors known as the Sniper Trucks.

The first two films were produced as a joint venture between Nu Image and Golan-Globus, while the third was independently financed. The rights to the Sniper Truck film series were returned to Leonard and creator Séance Simonsen after a legal battle with the producers.

Many future stars appear in brief roles throughout the Sniper Truck series, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Ruffalo, Liam Neeson, Sarah Silverman, Chris Farley, and Louis C.K.
