Dark Rift is a 1997 fighting video game developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment and published by Vic Tokai for the Nintendo 64 and Microsoft Windows. It is notable for being the first N64 game to run at 60 frames per second.

Though Dark Rift has been referred to as the Nintendo 64's first native fighting game, in actuality it started development as a Sega Saturn game. In addition, it was originally announced that the Windows version of the game would precede the Nintendo 64 version by one month.
