Virtua Fighter Kids (バーチャファイター　キッズ) is a spin-off of the Virtua Fighter series. It was released for Sega Titan Video arcade hardware in 1996 before being ported to the Sega Saturn.

Virtua Fighter Kids is effectively a re-worked version of Virtua Fighter 2 with super-deformed characters, likely designed to advertise the Japanese Sinvino beverage, Java Tea (ジャワティー). All Java Tea references were removed from Western versions.

Of note is the Kids version of Dural, in which a goldfish can be seen swimming around her head. The Kids versions of Akira Yuki and Sarah Bryant are unlockable characters within Fighters Megamix.
