Electrocop is a 1989 action video game developed by Epyx and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Lynx. One of the first games written for the platform, it was among the launch titles that were released along with the system in North America.

Set on a futuristic interpretation of Washington, D.C. in the year 2069, players assume the role of the titular robot created by MegaCorp who must infiltrate the Steel Complex fortress and attempt to rescue the President of the United States' first daughter under a time limit from the Criminal Brain. Conceived by Greg Omi, who developed the Lynx hardware alongside Chip's Challenge creator Chuck Sommerville, Electrocop began its development prior to the existence of any functional Lynx hardware.

Electrocop received mixed reception from critics, who unanimously praised the pseudo-3D visuals and sound department, but some criticized the repetitive nature of the gameplay and convoluted graphics. A version of the game was developed and completed by ICC for the Atari 7800, but never released.
