RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee is a mobile suit featured in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, piloted primarily by Marida Cruz, and later by Riddhe Marcenas. It is the second unit of the RX-0 Unicorn series, developed by Anaheim Electronics.

Initially, the Banshee is deployed to capture the Unicorn Gundam. It is distinguished from the Unicorn Gundam by its predominantly black color scheme and its V-fin, which resembles a lion's mane. Like the Unicorn, the Banshee can transform into Destroy Mode, revealing its Psycho-Frame and enhancing its abilities.

During Marida Cruz's time as pilot, the Banshee often served as a weapon controlled remotely by the system. After the events of the Laplace Incident, Riddhe Marcenas takes control of the Banshee and, after significant modifications and improvements, pilots the Banshee Norn. The Banshee plays a key role in the latter half of the series, often acting as a foil to the Unicorn Gundam.
