The Pocket Famicom is an unlicensed handheld hardware clone of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES, also known as the Nintendo Family Computer, or Famicom) produced by GameTech.

The Pocket Famicom features a standard D-pad and six buttons: the four standard NES buttons (A, B, select, and start), plus two additional "turbo" buttons. It features a 2.5 inch backlit LCD screen capable of displaying both NTSC and PAL video. It has one headphone jack, an RCA composite output jack, and can be powered either through 3 AA batteries or AC adaptor. Because of the different cartridge pin design of the Japanese Famicom and the international NES, North American cartridges cannot be played without an additional converter.

Nintendo sued GameTech over production of the Pocket Famicom, claiming that the device violated their patents on the Famicom's hardware. The courts found in favor of GameTech, however, and allowed the device to be sold in Japan.
