Fear Factor is an Australian stunt/dare reality game show. It originally aired on Nine Network in 2002, but was abruptly cancelled after only 2 episodes, and was hosted by Marc Yellin. The show pitted contestants against each other in a variety of stunts; each winner over the first six weeks received a small prize, then returned to compete against each other in a championship episode for the show's grand prize of AU $50,000.

Despite its abrupt cancellation, the entire 7-episode series was later aired in the United States on Chiller during 2011 and 2012.
