"My Favourite Game" is an alternative rock song written by Peter Svensson and Nina Persson for Swedish band the Cardigans' fourth studio album, Gran Turismo (1998). The song is the album's eighth track and was released as its first single on 14 September 1998. Lyrically, it is about a failing relationship and the attempt made to better the significant other or save people from themselves.

"My Favourite Game" achieved international success, reaching number one in Greece, number three in Sweden and number 14 in the United Kingdom. It also charted within the top 40 in several European countries and New Zealand. While it failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The accompanying music video was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and features Persson joydriving on a desert road. It caused controversy due to its imagery of car crashes and reckless driving and resulted it being recut to tone down the violence and appear on music channels. The song was included in the 1999 video game Gran Turismo 2 and in the 2021 movie Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City.
