PocketNES is a NES emulator which runs on the Game Boy Advance, written by Neal Tew (Loopy) and Fredrik Olsson (Flubba). It can run on a GBA through use of flash cartridges, or with the GBA Movie Player. The emulator has been released into the public domain, yet it remains under active development.

It is believed that PocketNES inspired Nintendo to re-release several of their NES games on the GBA through the e-Reader accessory, Animal Crossing GameCube game link feature, or Classic NES Series collection. Some also believe that the PocketNES emulator has displaced the e-Reader and Classic NES series from store shelves since people could download ROM images for old NES games for free instead.

PocketNES is also an unrelated NES emulator for Pocket PC.
