Dr. Mario Express, known in PAL regions as A Little Bit of... Dr. Mario, is a Mario puzzle video game developed by Arika and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare service. It was released as a launch title for the service in Japan on December 24, 2008 and internationally in 2009. Developer Arika had previously developed the WiiWare title Dr. Mario Online Rx.

Dr. Mario Express features the general gameplay of earlier Dr. Mario puzzle games, which focus on eliminating colored viruses from the playing field by matching them with colored capsules. Dr. Mario Express received generally positive reviews, but was criticized for offering fewer playable game modes than earlier Dr. Mario titles.
