Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side (also known as Eternal Champions 2 or Eternal Champions CD) is a fighting video game for the Sega CD. It was published in June 1995 in North America and during the same year in Europe, within the waning days of the platform lifespan.
The game is a sequel to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game Eternal Champions and was part two of a proposed trilogy of games by Sega. Both games were developed by an internal team at Sega Interactive Development Division and designed by Michael Lantham, a developer with Sega of America from their early days.

In addition to all the characters of the first game returning, the sequel includes several brand new characters (four of which are playable from the start):

- Raven Gindar: An Arawak voodoo priestess from 1802. An aging witchdoctor pretended to be an injured old man to gain her trust, before using her own magical hourglass to completely drain her of her youth until she died.
- Riptide AKA Sophia de Medici: A pirate from 1566. She and the entire Medici family were killed by a ruthless pirate after discovering the location of his stolen loot.
- Dark Champion: The main antagonist; the Eternal Champion's evil opposite.
