Chuck Rock is a 1991 platform video game developed and published by Core Design for the Atari ST and Amiga computers. A Commodore 64 port followed in 1992 and an Amiga CD32 version in 1994. The game was subsequently published by Krisalis Software for the Acorn Archimedes. Virgin Interactive published the game for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System, and the Game Gear. Sony Imagesoft published the game for the Mega-CD, Super NES, and Game Boy.

The character of Chuck Rock was an early mascot for Core Design before the introduction of Lara Croft in the 1996 game Tomb Raider, and Chuck Rock and his family even featured in some UK comic books of the 1990s. Chuck Rock was followed by the sequel Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck in 1993 and the spin-off BC Racers in 1994.
