Apple Panic is a video game for the Apple II programmed by Ben Serki and published by Broderbund Software in 1981. Apple Panic is an unauthorized version of the 1980 Universal arcade game Space Panic, the first game with ladders and platforms. While the arcade original remained obscure outside of Japan, Apple Panic became a top seller for the Apple II. Versions for the Atari 8-bit computers, VIC-20, IBM PC (as a self-booting disk), and TRS-80 were released in 1982.

The player is pursued by creatures which can be eliminated by digging holes to trap them, then hitting them with a shovel. The red and green aliens of Space Panic are labeled "apples" in Apple Panic, but are visually similar.
