Game Pak is the term for a ROM cartridge used by Nintendo in their cartridge-based video game consoles up to the release of the Game Boy Advance, after which Nintendo used the term Game Card.

The term "Game Pak" was created by the head of Nintendo's advertising department, Gail Tilden.

It was created to replace the term "game cartridge", which was used by Atari products, so as to not remind customers of the video game crash of 1983.
