Home Run is a 1978 baseball video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 (originally known as the Atari Video Computer System). It was the first baseball-themed game released for an Atari platform. The game received mostly negative critical reception due to its unrealistic portrayal of the sport. It was one of the games used by console competitor Mattel to show the quality improvement of Intellivision sports games over the Atari VCS.

Atari replaced Home Run with RealSports Baseball in 1982.
