Ground Kontrol is a video game arcade and bar in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. It is known for preserving games from the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games. It also serves as a venue for DJs and live music.

Since opening in 1999, Ground Kontrol has undergone several changes. The arcade was originally created and opened by Betty Farrier, and Kneel Cohn of the bands Warshow Angels and The Dead Stars On Hollywood. In March 2003 it came under new ownership by Timewarp Incorporated. In September 2004, Ground Kontrol moved to a new location

In December 2010, Ground Kontrol moved to a temporary location to accommodate a remodel. During renovation, a kitchen and new seating were added, the restrooms were moved, and the decor took on a Tron-esque vibe. On December 11, 2011, Ground Kontrol announced that it was now a full-service bar.
