The GP2X is a handheld gaming devices from South Korean developer GamePark Holdings. The GP2X is the next generation of GamePark's previous device, the GP32.

The open-source approach to the GPX2 has helped it gain popularity in contrast to the major brand-name handhelds from Nintendo and Sony. This has also made it a popular platform for emulation, allowing games for other systems to be played on the device.

The device also features a TV-out capability allowing games to be played on a larger display.

The GP2X had sold over 30,000 units within its first year.
