Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual, written by Lee Brimmicombe-Wood and published by HarperPrism is a fictional guide to the United States Colonial Marines depicted in the film Aliens. The Technical Manual describes in detail the equipment and organization of the Colonial Marines, and while it attempts to stay faithful to the films it adds and expands upon a number of topics not depicted in the film such as artillery and tanks.

The book is divided into two primary sections, the first is a technical manual describing the Marines, as well as their dropships, tanks and one of their spaceships, while the second is a fictional series of transcripts between Weyland-Yutani employees as they discuss their theories on Xenomorph biology and its possible exploitation.
