Virtua Tennis 4, known as Power Smash 4 (パワースマッシュ４) in Japan, is a sports game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Windows PC. There is also an arcade version, which runs on Sega RingEdge.

It is a 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.
