Super Breakout is a 1978 action video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for arcades; in Japan, it was distributed by Namco and Esco Trading. The game, originally designed by Ed Rotberg and Ed Logg, is a sequel to Atari's 1976 game Breakout, and uses the same mechanics while also allowing the selection of three distinct game modes, two of which involve multiple, simultaneous balls in play. As with its predecessor, the arcade version of Super Breakout is displayed in black and white, with monitor overlays to add color.

The arcade game was commercially successful in Japan and the United States. Atari published home versions of the game–in color–for most of its consoles and computers, and the game was the pack-in title for the Atari 5200 console when it was released in 1982.
