Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja, also known simply as either Bad Dudes (on the American NES port) or DragonNinja (in Japan and Europe), is a 1988 beat 'em up video game developed and published by Data East for arcades. It was ported to computer and game console home systems.

In Bad Dudes, the players are tasked with rescuing "President Ronnie" from ninja kidnappers. The game was a commercial success, becoming one of America's top five highest-grossing games in 1988. The arcade version received generally positive reviews from critics, while the home conversions received also a positive critical reception. It has since become widely known for its general premise and introductory cutscene.
