Pikmin 4 is a real-time strategy video game for the Nintendo Switch developed by Nintendo and Eighting and published by Nintendo. It is the fourth main installment of the Pikmin series, following Pikmin 3 (2013), and sixth installment overall. It was released on July 21, 2023.

      The game is the first in the series to feature a custom playable character. It also features a newly adjusted day and night system, allowing players to freely explore the area during the night without having to mandatorily retreat at the end of the day. In the game, the player assumes the role of a recently recruited member of the Rescue Corps, a group in need of rescuing following an unsuccessful attempt to save Captain Olimar.

     Pikmin 4 was developed using Unreal Engine, the first use of the engine for an in-house-developed Nintendo title. This is also the second time for a Nintendo published title to make use of the engine following Yoshi's Crafted World. Yoshi's Crafted World was developed by Good-Feel.

     Pikmin 4 was announced by Shigeru Miyamoto in a Nintendo Direct on September 13, 2022. A demo for the game was released on 28 June 2023 on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
