MX Rider (often stylized as MXrider) is a racing video game developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Infogrames Europe in 2001. It was the first title released under Infogrames' newly reinvented Atari brand, which Infogrames used alongside their branding until 2003. MX Rider features over 10 real Grand Prix riders and includes all the tracks from the 2000 world motocross GP championship.

An enhanced port of the game, titled Big Air Freestyle, was released for the GameCube in 2002. This version does not include the FIA license
