North Atlantic '86 is a computer wargame written by Gary Grigsby for the Apple II and published in 1983 by Strategic Simulations. The game covers a hypothetical conflict between NATO and the Soviet Union. A Mac version was released in 1986.^[2][3]

North Atlantic '86 was Grigsby's third game. It began development as a part-time project while he worked for the United States Department of Defense, like his previous titles Guadalcanal Campaign and Bomb Alley, but Grigsby left the position to become a full-time game developer during North Atlantic's production. The title reuses the game engine from his first two games, with upgrades. He followed it with Carrier Force (1983).
