{{For|the novel by [Dean Ing](/source/Dean_Ing)|Systemic Shock (book)}}
A '''systemic shock''' is a [shock](/source/Shock_(mechanics)) to any [system](/source/system) that perturbs a system enough to drive it out of [equilibrium](/source/List_of_types_of_equilibrium).<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Systemic shock propagation in a complex system|first=Peter|last=Mitic|date=November 18, 2019|journal=Soft Computing|volume=24|issue=18|pages=13667–13685|doi=10.1007/s00500-019-04466-6|doi-access=free}}</ref> Systemic shocks occur in a wide range of fields, ranging from medicine (see [shock](/source/Shock_(circulatory))), [ecology](/source/ecology), [economics](/source/economics) to [engineering](/source/engineering).  Designers of systems usually desire their systems to be able to withstand or recover from foreseeable system shocks; therefore, many systems are designed with mechanisms in place to restore an equilibrium state.
