Kirby's Dream Buffet is a 2022 party and racing video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch as a spinoff title in the Kirby series. The game was announced via social media in July 2022 and was digitally released worldwide for the Nintendo eShop the following month.

Kirby's Dream Buffet revolves around four Kirbys, controlled by human players or artificial intelligence, competing in various dessert-themed minigames, with objectives ranging from reaching the end of a race course first to collecting the most strawberries. The game supports both local and online multiplayer.

Kirby's Dream Buffet received mixed reviews from critics, with criticism being largely directed toward its repetitive gameplay and online mode. Many reviewers compared the game to Fall Guys both before and after its release.
