Tecmo Super Bowl is a 1991 American football video game developed and published by Tecmo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It is the sequel to 1987's Tecmo Bowl, as well as the first video game to be licensed by both the National Football League and the National Football League Players Association, thus allowing the game to use the names and attributes of real NFL teams and players. Prior games used either the real teams, the real players, or fictional substitutes, but not real teams and players together.

The game was a major success, resulting in several follow-ups for subsequent game consoles. The NES original has had an extensive cult following across the decades, with widely covered tournaments as the game modification community provides annual roster updates. It has been variously named as one of the best NES games, one of the best sports games, and one of the most influential video games of all time.
