Double Dragon (双截龍 Daburu Doragon?) is a 1987 beat 'em up video game developed by Technōs Japan and distributed in North America and Europe by Taito. The game is a spiritual and technological successor to Technos' previous beat 'em up, Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun (released outside Japan by Taito as Renegade), but introduced several improvements, such as two-player cooperative gameplay and the ability to use enemy's weapon after disarming him.

Double Dragon is considered one of the first successful titles of the genre, resulting in the creation of two arcade sequels and several spin-offs, as well as inspiring other companies to create their own beat 'em ups.
