Beautiful Katamari, released in Japan as Beautiful Katamari Damacy, is an action-puzzle video game developed by Now Production and published by Namco Bandai Games for the Xbox 360. Beautiful Katamari is the fourth game in the Katamari series of games following Katamari Damacy, We Love Katamari, and Me & My Katamari.

Beautiful Katamari has gained extra attention because it was originally scheduled as a PlayStation 3 title in addition to the Xbox 360, but development on the PlayStation 3 was abandoned. Beautiful Katamari releasing exclusively for an Xbox console is a rarity for the series, as all previous Katamari games had been exclusively available on PlayStation consoles.
