JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険, JoJo no Kimyōna Bōken?) is the commonly given name to any one of the versions and ports of a fighting game developed by Capcom based on the Japanese manga of the same title.

It was originally released in the arcade in 1998 on the CPS-3 arcade system; this version was known outside of Japan as Jojo's Venture. An updated version of the game was released in 1999 as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure : Heritage for the Future (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険未来への遺産, JoJo no Kimyōna Bōken Mirai he no Isan?), becoming the sixth and last game released for the CPS-3 board (the second-to-last being the third revision of Street Fighter III: Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, released only a few months earlier). Console ports for the Playstation and Dreamcast were also released that year.

The game combines Capcom's trademark anime-inspired graphics, as seen in the Darkstalkers series, with the colorful characters and events of Hirohiko Araki's creation, resulting in a highly stylized and detailed visual style. It also features many of the gameplay mechanics seen on previous Capcom fighting games, such as the use of power gauges for super moves, as well as a brand new Stand Mode, consisting of a guardian spirit that accompanies each character and can be summoned or dismissed at will by the player, resulting in variations on the character's move list and abilities.

Original author Hirohiko Araki served as a consultant for the game and created exclusive pieces of artwork for its promotion and packaging; most notably, he developed from scratch a new character design for Midler, since Capcom was interested in using her in the game and she had been only vaguely shown in the original manga.
