The Atari Lynx is a 16-bit handheld game console developed by Atari Corporation and designed by Epyx, released in North America in 1989, with a second revision called Lynx II being also released worldwide in July 1991. It was the second and last handheld console to be released under the Atari brand, succeeding the handheld iteration of Touch Me from 1978. The following list contains all of the games released for the Lynx.

Unveiled at the January's 1989 Winter Consumer Electronics Show as the Handy before being rechristened as the Lynx,{{cite magazine|last=Jermaine|first=John|title=Lynx, an interview with the men behind the machine|magazine=Electronic Gaming Monthly|issue=3|publisher=Sendai Publishing|date=September 1989|pages=70–72}}{{cite magazine|last=Latimer|first=Peter|title=Atari Lynx|magazine=Retro Gamer|issue=4|date=July 2005|pages=24–31}} the system was released to compete with 8-bit and 16-bit handheld consoles such as the Game Boy, Game Gear, and TurboExpress, initially starting off successfully. Due to stiff competition in the home console market at the time, Atari Corp. focused their resources into the Atari Jaguar before ceasing internal game development in 1996 and eventually discontinuing the platform. There were 71 officially released titles on cartridge during the system's life span on the market, with 3 more titles being released after its discontinuation by Telegames. Originally released at US$179.99,{{cite news|author=|title=Toys R Us weekly ad|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=373&dat=19901205&id=ek1OAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Oz8DAAAAIBAJ&pg=2470,1037511|newspaper=The Catoosa County News|date=December 5, 1990|accessdate=2019-04-21}} Atari dropped the price to $99.99 when the Lynx II was launched. Its unknown how many Lynx units were sold but it has been suggested that between 1 and 3 million units were sold in total.{{cite web|url=http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/mirror/www.atari-explorer.com/lynx.html|title=Video Games :: Lynx|publisher=Atari Explorer|accessdate=2019-04-21|archive-date=2017-12-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224231049/http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/mirror/www.atari-explorer.com/lynx.html|url-status=dead}}{{cite magazine|last=Hawken|first=Kieren|title=Lynx Awakening: An Atari Lynx Retrospective|magazine=Retro Gamer|issue=129|publisher=Imagine Publishing|date=May 2014|pages=48–55}} Also listed are the unlicensed aftermarket (homebrew) titles.
