The Deathwatch are a faction from UK-Based Games Workshop's Tabletop Wargame Warhammer 40,000. The Deathwatch is a unique and specially trained Space Marine Chapter that dedicates its every hour to xenos hunting.

Known as the Shield that Slays, the Deathwatch are the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, charged with protecting it in its search of information, containment, and ultimate destruction of all xeno species. Consisting of Battle-Brothers drawn from many Chapters, the Deathwatch operates from Watch Fortresses and Watch Stations across the whole of the Imperium.

Due to its vast mission the Deathwatch is scattered across the galaxy on Watch Fortresses and Watch Stations, the largest of which is Talasa Prime. Each Watch Fortress is a sovereign domain standing sentinel over an area of the Imperium, each having its own number of Watch Stations. The structure of most Watch Fortresses are identical, with ultimate responsibilities falling to a Watch Commander who is supported be a strategic council of Watch Captains and Lieutenants. Each Watch Fortress also has its own Librarius, Apothecarium, Armoury, and Reclusiam.

Deathwatch members have access to a range of specialist equipment such as the Stalker Boltgun and variant bolter ammunition such as Inferno Bolts, Cryo-Shells, Kraken Penetrator Rounds, Metal Storm Frag Shells and Stalker Silenced Shells. They are freed from the usual technological dogma that plagues the Imperium and their arsenal also consists of vast amounts of Xenos technology.
