is a 1991 platform video game developed by Data East and published by Namco for Japanese arcades; it was distributed in North America by Leprechaun Inc. and in Europe by Mitchell Corporation.

Designed by Makoto Kikuchi, Tumblepop was developed by most of the same team that worked on several projects at Data East. The game was later ported to the Game Boy with several changes or additions from the original version. The game was met with mostly positive reception from critics and players alike, gaining a cult following since its initial release. However, other versions were met with a more mixed response from reviewers.
