Pengo (ペンゴ) is a 1982 arcade game developed and published by Sega. It stars Pengo the penguin who must defeat all the "sno-bees" on screen by pushing ice blocks. Its main music track is the 1969 synthpop instrumental Popcorn.

The game was ported to the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Commodore 64 and Game Gear, and an enhanced version was later released for the Mega Drive in the form of Pepenga Pengo. There were also numerous clones, such as Pengi for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron.

Pengo the Penguin was recently found as an unused model in Sonic the Fighters.
