Gorby's Great Pipeline Strategy was a puzzle video game developed by Compile. It featured the last leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, in the title, title screen, and cover art.

It was published in Japan by Tokuma Shoten on Family Computer, FM Towns, and MSX in April 1991, eight months before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The Family Computer version was released digitally in Japan on Project EGG by D4 Enterprise. Great Pipeline Strategy, a version with a D4 Enterprise logo on startup and the removal of Gorbachev from the game, was released on June 15, 2021. The original version with Mikhail Gorbachev was released under its original title on April 11, 2023.
