World Stadium (full title: Pro Yakyū World Stadium プロ野球ワールドスタジアム (Puro Yakyū Wārudo Sutajiamu?)), is a series of baseball arcade games that were released by Namco in the late 1980s and 1990s exclusively in Japan; they were inspired by the 1986 Famicom game Pro Yakyū Family Stadium, and its sequel game, Pro Yakyū Family Stadium '87.

The first three titles in the series, World Stadium ワールドスタジアム (Wārudo Sutajiamu?) (1988), World Stadium '89 Kaimakuban ワールドスタジアム'89開幕版 (Wārudo Sutajiamu '89 Kaimakuban?) (1989) and World Stadium '90 ワールドスタジアム'90 (Wārudo Sutajiamu '90?) (1990), ran upon Namco System 1 hardware, and featured twelve teams from the "Urban League" (the Giants, Cars, Drasans, Sparrows, Wheels, and Titans), and "Country League" (the Lionels, Bravos, Hornets, Fires, Orients, and Buckaroos); they also featured three stadiums for matches to take place in (Kōrakuen, Kōshien and Mejā). The first two of these stadiums' scoreboards had clocks which started at 6:00 and advanced as the matches progressed (but broke at midnight), and the third stadium's scoreboard also featured the logo of Namco's United States distributor of that time period - Atari Games.
