Jetpac is a ZX Spectrum video game developed and released by Ultimate Play The Game in 1983. The game is the first in the Jetman series. In the game, Jetman has to first assemble his rocket (which comes in kit form), and then fill it with fuel before taking off to the next planet. The game was written by Chris Stamper with graphics by Tim Stamper.

Jetpac (a 16KB game) was followed up with Lunar Jetman (requiring the higher specification 48KB Spectrum) that included a much expanded gameplay with a lunar rover players could drive, teleport stations, etc.

In 1999, Jetpac was introduced to a new generation as Rareware included it in Donkey Kong 64. It could be unlocked to play in Cranky Kong's lab, and if players successfully got 5000 points, they would be rewarded the game's Rareware Coin.

This game was one of the very few Spectrum games also available in ROM format for use with the Interface 2.
