Virtua Tennis 4, known as Power Smash 4 (パワースマッシュ4) in Japan, is a sports game developed by AM3 and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Windows PC. The game was available on Steam until April 2015. It is the sequel to Virtua Tennis 3, and is the first "main" game in the series to be released directly to home consoles, with the arcade release following later. The game will make use of each console's respective motion peripherals (PlayStation Move, Kinect and Wii MotionPlus).

A PlayStation Vita version titled Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition was released in late 2011 in Japan, and 2012 internationally. There is also an arcade version, which runs on Sega RingEdge.

On 14 April 2015, Sega announced that Virtua Tennis 4 would be removed from Steam on 23 April 2015 and put the game on sale.
