Blasteroids is a 1988 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Atari Games for arcades. It is the third main entry in the Asteroids series, following 1981's Asteroids Deluxe. Unlike the previous games, Blasteroids uses raster graphics instead of vector graphics, and has power-ups and a boss.

Home computer versions were released by Image Works for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MSX, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum. An emulated version of Blasteroids is an unlockable mini-game in Lego Dimensions.
