Surgeon Simulator (formerly Surgeon Simulator 2013) is a surgical simulation video game developed and published by Bossa Studios. The initial version was created by Tom Jackson, Jack Good, Luke Williams and James Broadley in a 48-hour period for the 2013 Global Game Jam; the developers continued and spent 48 days creating a commercial version.[1] The full version was released via Steam in April 2013, and GOG.com on 10 October 2013 followed by an iPad release on 7 March 2014.

A sequel, Surgeon Simulator 2, was released in August 2020.
