V.Smile is an educational game system by VTech. It is designed for children ages 3–7. Titles are available on ROM cartridges referred to as "Smartridges", to play off the system's educational nature.

VTech also makes a handheld version of the V.Smile named the V.Smile Pocket. This device is the same as V.Smile in terms of the CPU and GPU. The V.Smile pocket has an AV output (composite) for an external monitor.

The buttons on the game system and controllers are large to accommodate small children's less developed manual dexterity. The system uses flashy colors and large fluorescent buttons to attract and maintain children's attention. This is one of the first game consoles to have a compartment to put the cartridges into.

In 2007, a new generation of V.Smile has been launched. The product outlook has been refreshed, a microphone has bundled with the console, and a more featured joystick, which comes with a new drawing pad.

Some of the games available include Bob the Builder, Winnie-the-Pooh, Dora the Explorer, The Backyardigans, Thomas and Friends, Cars, The Lion King and Scooby-Doo amongst others.
