Main article: Books, films, and games influenced by Starship Troopers

Starship Troopers influenced many later science fiction stories, setting a tone for the military in space, a type of story referred to as military science fiction. John Steakley's novel Armor was, according to the author, born out of frustration with the small amount of actual combat in Starship Troopers and because he wanted this aspect developed further. Conversely, Joe Haldeman's anti-war novel The Forever War is popularly thought to be a direct reply to Starship Troopers, and though Haldeman has stated that it is actually a result of his personal experiences in the Vietnam War, he has admitted to being influenced by Starship Troopers.[39] Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is also thought by many to have been either a direct response to or influenced by Starship Troopers. Card has flatly denied this, saying that he never read the novel and was influenced by The Forever War.[60] Harry Harrison wrote a satirical book called Bill, the Galactic Hero which he described as "a piss-take on Heinlein's Starship Troopers"[61] John Scalzi's novel Old Man's War is, according to the author, explicitly patterned after Starship Troopers.[62] In recent years, John Ringo's series Legacy of the Alldenata (also known as the Posleen series) featured a more explicit homage to Heinlein's book.

The 1986 James Cameron movie Aliens incorporated themes and phrases right out of the novel such as the terms "the drop" and "bug hunt" as well as the cargo-loader exoskeleton. The actors playing the Colonial Marines were also required to read Starship Troopers as part of their training prior to filming.[63] Starship Troopers is also thought to have influenced numerous computer and boardgames, including Tribes,[64] Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri,[65] Halo, Warhammer 40,000, StarCraft[66] (where the two races Terrans and Zerg are very similar to Terrans and the Arachnids of the book) and BattleTech. Also, the TV series Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy, in a possible reference, used the suits from the movie to form the military for their ship, Terra Venture.

In Uncanny X-men #130 the character Dazzler refers to the agents of the Hellfire Club as 'refugees from "starship troopers"' due to their futuristic robotic suits.

The progressive rock band Yes had a song entitled Starship Trooper from their 1971 release, The Yes Album. The song is not based on the novel, but includes the lyric "Starship trooper, Go sailing on by." This might be seen as a mild criticism of the novel, given the band's distinctly anti-militarist stance.

Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip had a UK hit single called "I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper" in 1978, responding to media interest in the film Star Wars, and only incidentally (or perhaps accidentally) referring to the Heinlein novel.

The band Minus The Bear's album Highly Refined Pirates makes a number of references to lines from Starship Troopers in their song titles, e.g. "You Kill Bugs Good, Man" and "Damn Bugs Whacked Him, Johnny"
