Black Widow is a 1983 twin-stick shooter developed and published by Atari, Inc. as an arcade video game. The player controls a black widow spider using one joystick to move and one to fire, defending the web from insects.

Black Widow was offered as a conversion kit for Gravitar (1982), with both games using vector monitors. The kit uses the original Gravitar PCB with a few modifications and a new set of ROM chips.
