Countdown to Extinction (Cuenta Regresiva hacia la Extinción) es el quinto álbum de estudio de la banda estadounidense de thrash metal Megadeth. Fue lanzado al mercado el 14 de julio de 1992. Una versión remasterizada con varias pistas extra fue re-lanzada en el 2004. Este álbum es considerado uno de los mejores discos de Megadeth ya que trae consigo varias de las canciones más exitosas del grupo tales como: Symphony of Destruction, Sweating Bullets, Foreclosure of a Dream, Skin O' My Teeth, entre otros.[cita requerida]
Countdown to Extinction es considerado por muchos como uno de los álbumes que mantuvieron al heavy metal en el flujo principal de las listas musicales de los años 1990[cita requerida] (dominadas en esos momentos por Nirvana como mayor exponente, el Grunge y el Rock Alternativo) junto con los álbumes Vulgar Display of Power de Pantera, Revenge de KISS, No More Tears de Ozzy Osbourne, y The Black Album de Metallica.
