Bomberman Hero is a platform video game developed by A.I Co., Ltd. and published by Hudson Soft for the Nintendo 64. It is the second Bomberman game to be released on the system, following Bomberman 64 (1997). It is notable for being a dramatic deviation from previous Bomberman titles, featuring predominant platforming gameplay as opposed to the series' traditional top-down strategy gameplay.

Bomberman Hero received mixed reviews from critics, who criticized it for its graphics and absence of a multiplayer mode, though elements of its gameplay were praised. It was re-released through the Wii Virtual Console service in 2011.
