Gunbound (stylized as GunBound; Korean: 건바운드 Geonbaundeu) is a free-to-play, multiplayer, turn-based artillery game developed by South Korean developer Softnyx. It has been compared to the Worms series as it shares many common gameplay features.

The original version was released in South Korea in May 2002 before being released worldwide in August 2003. A spin-off mobile game titled GunboundM was released in July 2017. A sequel titled New Gunbound was announced for mobile in September 2019 and for the PC in May 2020. The PC version was scheduled for release on Steam in July 2020. However, it remained unreleased and was removed from Steam in February, 2021. Meanwhile, during the Brasil Game Show 2024, Gravity Game Hub (GGH) and Softnyx announced their plans to relaunch Gunbound in Southeast Asia and Latin America, and prior to the game's return in these regions, a pre-registration event and beta tests were conducted.
