RealSports Football is a 1982 American football video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200. It was later ported to Atari 8-bit computers in 1983. It is part of the RealSports series of games.

RealSports Football presents a simplified version of football for play. Players in the game cannot go out of bounds or fumble the football, and there are no penalties in the game. A touchdown automatically scores 7 points and there is no kicking for extra points.
