Typo Attack is an educational typing game for Atari 8-bit computers designed to improve keyboard skill. It was written by David Buehler and published by the Atari Program Exchange in 1982. Buehler was seventeen years old when the game won the US$25,000 (equivalent to $83,400 in 2025) Atari Star Award for the best APX program of 1982. In 1984, Atari, Inc. moved Typo Attack into its official line as a cartridge.

After writing Typo Attack, Buehler had two action games published by the Atari Program Exchange in 1983: Wyzle! and Impact.
