Ranma ½: Hard Battle (known in Japan as Ranma ½: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen, or "Ranma ½: Exploding Brawl Chapter" and in Europe as Ranma ½) is a 2D fighting game developed by Masaya (in conjunction with Atelier Double) and published for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System by Masaya (in Japan on December 25, 1992), DTMC (in North America on November 1993), and Ocean (in Europe in 1993).

Based on the comedic martial arts manga and anime series Ranma ½, Hard Battle is the second game of the series released on the SNES (after Ranma ½: Chounai Gekitou Hen). It is the only game in the series that was properly localized for a worldwide release (not including the massively-reskinned Street Combat), with translations by Viz Media (who distributed the manga/anime series at the time).
