Popful Mail: Magical Fantasy Adventure is a 1991 action-adventure platform video game developed and published by Nihon Falcom for the PC-8801. It was later ported to the PC-9801 and Super Famicom by Falcom, to the Sega CD by Sega and Sega Falcom, to the PC Engine Super CD-ROM² by NEC Home Electronics and HuneX, and to DoJa mobile phones by Bothtec.

Most versions of Popful Mail are for the most part similar to each other, but the Sega CD and Super Famicom versions differ significantly both from each other and from the other releases. The Sega CD version was going to be reworked even further to be part of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series, but this did not end up happening. This version was localized by Working Designs and released in North America in early 1995, and was the only version available outside Japan prior to July 2024.
