Tokyo Xtreme Racer (東京エクストリームレーサー, Tōkyō Ekusutorīmu Rēsā), also known as Shutokō Battle (首都高バトル, Shutokōbatoru, lit. "Metropolitan Expressway Battle") in Japan, is an arcade-style racing video game series created by Genki, inspired by street racing on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Its first installment, Shutokō Battle '94: Drift King, was released in 1994 for the Super Famicom, while the latest installment is Tokyo Xtreme Racer, that released in early access on PC on 23rd January 2025 which is Genki's first major platform racing game release in 18 years as the last major release was back in September 2007.

While the series was most commonly localized under the name Tokyo Xtreme Racer, when published by Crave Entertainment, other publishers have given certain installments entirely different names, such as Tokyo Highway Battle when published by Jaleco and THQ International; Import Tuner Challenge by Ubisoft; and even Street Supremacy when released by Konami. There is also a sub-series named Kaido Battle which focuses on Touge racing and drifting.
