Super Xevious (スーパーゼビウス, Sūpā Zebiusu?) is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade game that was released by Namco in 1984. As the name suggests, it is the sequel to Xevious, which was released 2 years earlier.

The gameplay is very much like the original Xevious except this time it is a little more difficult. Several new enemies were introduced in this game, including a silver Galaxian flagship, a rare silver Galaga scorpion ship, two jet planes, a helicopter and a dark yellow Tank Battalion tank. The hidden towers (AKA "Sol Citadels") and four special flags are also located in different places.
