'''''Near Orbit''''' is a 1989 role-playing game supplement published by [[R. Talsorian Games]] for ''[[Cyberpunk (role-playing game)|Cyberpunk]]''.

==Contents==
''Near Orbit'' expands the game to include zero-G adventuring, from geosynchronous orbit to the surface of the moon, which is the farthest humanity has spread.<ref name="SG"/>

==Reception==
''Near Orbit'' was reviewed in ''[[The Space Gamer|Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer]]'' No. 88.<ref name="SG">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The reviewer commented that "Overall, the strengths of the supplement far outweigh the weaknesses. To my knowledge, this is the first hard science system set in outer space. It does not rely on aliens or 'the Force'; explosive decompression is exciting enough thankyou. The technical background and ideas herein would be a worthy addition to any modern role-playing system, say ''James Bond'' or ''Top Secret''."<ref name="SG"/>
