Burning Fight is a 1991 beat 'em up video game developed and published by SNK for arcades on the Neo Geo MVS system. Introduced to capture a share in the then-popular beat 'em ups market, it was meant to compete with Technōs' Double Dragon, the leader of the genre at the time. Three years after its release in the arcades and on the Neo Geo AES, it was released on Neo Geo CD as the only other home version.

The game was produced by SNK co-founder Eikichi Kawasaki, best known for his work on various other SNK titles, such as the Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, and Samurai Shodown series. A re-release version of Burning Fight is included in SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1, which was released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Wii in 2008.
