Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, often shortened to Bubsy, is a 1993 platform game developed and published by Accolade for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. A port to the Sega Genesis was released months later. It is the first entry in the Bubsy series of video games. The game's title is a play on words in reference to the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with the game revolving around Bubsy defending the planet's supply of yarn balls from alien invaders.

The game was ported to Windows in 1997 under the title Super Bubsy. A sequel, Bubsy II, was released in 1994.
