Frenzy is a 1982 multidirectional shooter video game published by Stern Electronics for arcades. It is a direct sequel to Berzerk (1980); both games were designed by Alan McNeil. Frenzy's gameplay is very similar to Berzerk—the player enters a series of maze-like rooms containing armed robots and must shoot them to survive—but adds more variety. Ports were released for ColecoVision and ZX Spectrum.

In 2024, Atari re-released Robert DeCrescenzo's homebrew port of Frenzy as an official Atari 7800 release, as part of Atari's 2600+ and 7800+ platforms.
