Black Belt, known as Hokuto no Ken (北斗の拳) in Japan, is a beat-'em-up action game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Master System. The game was originally based on the manga and anime series Hokuto no Ken when released in Japan. The international release however did not have the license, and so the graphics and any references to the source material were removed.

The game received a sequel on the Sega Mega Drive, Hokuto no Ken: Shin Seikimatsu Kyuuseishu Densetsu, which was given the same treatment overseas and released as Last Battle.
