Micronics (マイクロニクス Maikuronikusu) was a Japanese video game developer in the 1980s and 1990s. It was best known for porting arcade games, most famously Capcom's titles, to the Nintendo Entertainment System. Micronics was not credited in its games (with exception of Super Volleyball for the Sega Mega Drive), in a similar fashion to Tose.

While the company is not well known in the game industry, it has produced some obscure titles like 89 Dennou Kyusei Uranai. Kazuo (Kazzo) Yagi was the main programmer for the games during the NES era. The company hired professional musicians to compose music for its games such as Tsugutoshi Goto, Kimio Nomura, and Joe Hisaishi.

The company started to develop SNES games, again uncredited. However, some of its games credited Khaos in the ROM, which is believed to have been Micronics's name while developing SNES games.
