The Simpsons: Bug Squad! is an unreleased Sega Dreamcast game based on the animated television show, The Simpsons. It was developed by Red Lemon Studios.

The game was never announced publicly, and its existence only came to light after the contents of a Dreamcast Dev.Box were released onto the internet in December 2020. Red Lemon Studios produced a short pitch to Fox Interactive in October 2000, demonstrating their cel-shading technology, however it is presumed the pitch was rejected and the project scrapped.

The demo sees the player, controlling a bug, hopping around 3D recreations of the Simpsons family's kitchen and living room. A non-interactive Homer Simpson walks between the rooms on a loop. There is no sound, and other rooms of the house are blocked off.

While several Dreamcast games were announced by Fox Interactive, all were cancelled, suggesting the company lost interest in developing for Sega's console.
