Spectravision is a video game company that developed and published games for the Atari 2600, Colecovision, and Commodore VIC-20.

'SpectraVision' was also the name for OnCommand corporation's hotel cable television enterprise in the U.S.. It gained notoriety in the early 1990s for showing pay-per-view adult movies in which the male genitalia was blurred out. These movies were always billed to the room only as 'movie'. SpectraVision was a hotel-based system using industrial VCRs and Echelon's LonWorks for control and billing. SpectraVision lost favor to satellite-based systems in the mid-1990s.

SpectraVision is also the name given to a very much modified version of the "Pepper's Ghost" illusion created in the 19th Century. SpectraVision is the technologically up-to-date version of this effect with the reflected image created by using video projectors or video monitors.
