Halo: Ground Command is a tabletop game developed by Spartan Games, released to distributors on July 20, 2016 and directly to customers on July 27, 2016. Set in the year 2552, Ground Command takes place during the Fall of Reach. The figures in the game are detailed at a 1:100 scale.

Halo: Ground Command features dice-based game mechanics, similar to Halo: Fleet Battles, though troop morale plays a key role. The game was designed to allow players to end a game within ninety minutes, yet players can easily expand the game to last all day. Dropships and drop pods both play an important role in the game.

Halo: Ground Command was discontinued officially by Spartan Games after the company closed. The game is continued on by a dedicated group of fans.
