Rally Speedway (also known as John Anderson's Rally Speedway) is a top-down racing game developed by John Anderson for Atari 8-bit computers. It was published by Adventure International in 1983 as 16K ROM cartridge. A port to the Commodore 64 was published by Commodore in 1985. The game includes options for changing how vehicles handle, such as top speed, acceleration, and whether roads are wet, dry, or icy. There's also an integrated editor for creating and saving race tracks.

Ansderson was inspired by the 1980 Intellivision game Auto Racing. In turn, Rally Speedway directly influenced the 1991 Nintendo Entertainment System game Micro Machines.
