Gunpoint is a stealth-based puzzle-platform video game created by indie developer Tom Francis. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on 3 June 2013, and soon followed with versions for OS X and Linux.

The game is set in the near future and sees players assume the role of freelance spy Richard Conway, who is tasked with infiltrating buildings to fulfil assignments from various clients. To do so, the player must avoid guards and bypass security features with the aid of a number of high-tech gadgets, such as the Crosslink tool which is used to rewire electrical circuits. Throughout the game, Conway seeks to clear his name in the murder of a high-profile weapons manufacturer, and gradually uncovers a murder mystery in his search for the real killer.

After Gunpoint, Francis and his game studio Suspicious Developments went on to release the games Heat Signature (2017) and Tactical Breach Wizards (2024). The three games share themes of infiltration and strategy, and Suspicious Developments named the trio of games the Defenestration Trilogy to convey their common themes.
