The Punisher is a 1993 beat 'em up video game developed and published by Capcom for arcades. It stars the Marvel Comics antihero the Punisher and co-stars S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury as the second player's character as they embark on a mission to kill the crime lord the Kingpin and bring down his organization. While following the same general formula as Capcom's previous beat 'em ups, the game has a range of usable weapons and a comic book-style presentation.

The Punisher gained significant popularity in arcades and is widely regarded as one of the best titles in the beat 'em up genre as well as one of the best video game adaptations of comic books. A Sega Genesis port was developed by Sculptured Software and published by Capcom to mixed reviews and commercial failure.
