is a 1986 basketball video game developed and published by Konami for arcades. It was the second basketball game by Konami, following Super Basketball. It was considered the most realistic basketball sports game upon release, with fast-paced action, detailed players, a large side-scrolling court, innovative cinematic slam dunks, and detailed sound effects, beginning a trend where presentation would play an increasingly important role in sports games.
In Japan, Game Machine listed the arcade version of Double Dribble as the 20th most successful table arcade unit of March 1987. The home port sold over 2 million units.
The NES version has received a mostly positive reception from retrospective reviews. Allgame awarded the game 5 out of 5 stars. The review referred to the game as the most realistic rendition of basketball on its release, and that it "was the beginning of a new era" for sports games in which presentation played an increasingly important role.
