The Eagle Project (Korean독수리작전) was a joint operation during World War II between the Office of Strategic Services of the United States and the Korean Liberation Army of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. It is also called Project Eagle or Operation Eagle.

The objective was to train and send Korean soldiers to infiltrate five key strategic cities in the Japanese-occupied Korean Peninsula: Chongjin, Sinuiju, Busan, Pyongyang, and Seoul. However, the operation never passed the training phase and was interrupted by the surrender of Japan on August 15, 1945.
