Ice Hockey is a 1988 ice hockey video game developed by Nintendo and Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo for the Famicom Disk System and Nintendo Entertainment System. Ice Hockey is based on the sport of the same name, with the objective of the game being to get more points than the opposing player by hitting round, black pucks into the opposing goal with a hockey stick.

Ice Hockey received positive reviews from critics, and has been often cited as one of the best games for the NES. It was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console service in 2006, as well as the Nintendo Classics service for the Nintendo Switch in September 2018.
