Curious George is a 2006 video game published by Namco, and developed by Monkey Bar Games, a division of Vicious Cycle Software. The game was also published under Universal Pictures because of their work on the animated movie. It was released for the Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC, and is based on the 2006 film of the same name.

The game used cel-shaded graphics. Most of the animated film's original voices were not used in any of the in-game dialogue (however Frank Welker reprised his role as George).
