Day of Defeat: Source is a team-based online first-person shooter multiplayer video game that was developed by Valve. Set in World War II, the game is a remake of the original Day of Defeat from 2003. It was updated from the GoldSrc engine used by its predecessor to the Source engine, and a remake of the game models. It would be released for Microsoft Windows on September 26, 2005, distributed through Valve's online content delivery service Steam, while retail distributions of the game were handled by Electronic Arts.

Originally announced in February 2005, development for the game progressed from being a straight conversion of Day of Defeat, to the alteration of certain aspects of the game's design and introduction of several features. In addition, it has been used by Valve to present new design features on the Source engine, such as high dynamic range rendering and cinematic effects. The game itself revolves around two teams, the U.S. Army and the Wehrmacht, each with access to six player classes, fighting in a variety of scenarios inspired by World War II engagements in the European Theatre of 1944.

Upon release, the game would receive generally favorable reception, with praise for its atmospheric and strategic gameplay and its graphics, audio work and overall presentation. However, the game was criticized for the lack of content in it at the time of release, although subsequent updates to the game would add new game modes and levels.
