Punch-Out!![a] is a 1984 boxing video game developed and published by Nintendo for arcades. It is the first installment of the Punch-Out!! series.

The arcade game introduced recurring characters such as Glass Joe, Bald Bull and Mr. Sandman. It was also the debut project at Nintendo for composer Koji Kondo, better known for his later contributions to the Mario and The Legend of Zelda series.

The original arcade game was a global commercial success, becoming the top-performing arcade game of 1984 in the United States. It produced an arcade sequel known as Super Punch-Out!!, a spinoff of the series titled Arm Wrestling, a highly popular version for the NES originally known as Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, and Super Punch-Out!! for the SNES.
