The term Special Mission Unit (SMU), is sometimes used to describe designated Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) units. They are tasked with "special missions", sometimes referring to unconventional warfare, counter-terrorist activities, direct action, Special reconnaissance, and/or black operations.

Media have used the term when describing five military units, although they are not officially acknowledged by the US government or US military:

United States Army
United States Navy
United States Air Force

Special Mission Unit can also be used to refer to other units with similar capabilities from other nations, for example the British SAS, Australian SASR, and also Canadian JTF2.
