The {{nihongo foot|'''Game Boy Player'''|ゲームボーイプレーヤー|Gēmu Bōi Purēyā|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes}} is a [[GameCube]] peripheral developed by [[Nintendo]] which enables it to play [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]] [[ROM cartridge|cartridge]]s, allowing those games to be played on a [[television]].

It connects via the high speed parallel port at the bottom of the GameCube and requires use of a boot disc to access the hardware. Rather than emulating a Game Boy system, the Game Boy Player uses physical hardware nearly identical to that of a Game Boy Advance. The device does not use the enhanced effects used by the [[Super Game Boy]] (a similar peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/10/feature_remembering_the_super_game_boy|title=Remembering the Super Game Boy|date=October 8, 2011|first=Dave|last=Frear|work=[[Nintendo Life]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815213843/https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/10/feature_remembering_the_super_game_boy|archive-date=August 15, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> The peripheral received mainly positive reviews from critics.
