Digi-Battle, also known as Digimon and Digital Monster Card Game / Hyper Colosseum in some markets, is an out-of-print collectible card game (CCG) by Upper Deck and Bandai.

It was initially released in February 2000 as fixed 62-card starter decks though by the end of 2000 they changed the card design. However, because Upper deck already printed a French version of the booster 3 series in the traditional style, they still went ahead and released it. Bandai went on to release four 30-card "Street Decks in the new design" with 30-card decks being a way to play the game.

Six expansions were released called Series 1 through 6 (series 1, series 2, series 3, etc. to series 6). Upper Deck's contract with Bandai expired after the release of Series 2 and Bandai started producing it themselves. The game ended in 2001 with a transition to Bandai's next CCG iteration called Digimon D-Tector that was mostly released in stores like Walgreens.

Digi-Battle released a series of promos through Taco Bell as well as other venues like movie theaters, video game and television promotions. Taco Bell collaborations happened during Digimon: The Movie promotions, the summer before the film's release via a summer partnership with the franchise from July 13, 2000, to September 9, 2000. Participating restaurants offered toys and other collectibles with purchase of their kids' meals.
