Guitar Rock Tour is a music video game developed and published by Gameloft for the Nintendo DS and iOS. It was released on November 4, 2008 and released on Nintendo's DSiWare in Europe on July 31, 2009 and in North America on August 17, 2009. It was also released for J2ME and was preloaded on some phones like the Sony Ericsson W595 and Nokia X3-00.

The game is played similarly to other music games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, with the player using either their finger or the stylus to tap along to incoming notes which move down the screen in time to the music. Two different instruments are available; guitar and drums. There are three difficulties: Easy, Medium and Hard. A sequel, Guitar Rock Tour 2, was released in 2009.
