"Soldier From Tomorrow" is a 1957 science fiction short story by Harlan Ellison. Its protagonist is a soldier who has been conditioned from birth by the State solely to fight and kill the enemy. Ellison adapted this short story for his script for the The Outer Limits episode "Soldier".

Ellison was later to bring suit against The Terminator production company Hemdale and distributor Orion Pictures for plagiarism[1] of his works. According to The Los Angeles Times, the parties settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed amount, and an acknowledgement of Ellison's "works" in the credits of Terminator.[1]
