Kaizo Mario World (改造マリオワールド, Kaizō Mario Wārudo, "Hack Mario World"), also known as Asshole Mario, is a series of three ROM hacks of the 1990 Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game Super Mario World, created by T. Takemoto. The term "Kaizo Mario World" is a shortened form of Jisaku no Kaizō Mario (Super Mario World) o Yūjin ni Play Saseru (Japanese: 自作の改造マリオ(スーパーマリオワールド)を友人にプレイさせる, "Making my friend play through my Mario hack (Super Mario World)"). The series was created by Takemoto for his friend R. Kiba.

Kaizo Mario World features extremely difficult level designs on the Super Mario World engine. The hack deliberately breaks many normal rules of "accepted" level design, such as placing invisible blocks where the player is likely to jump. This cruelty and the resulting frustration, as well as the skill level required, is both the purpose of the hacks and the appeal of any Let's Play videos made of them; Let's Play videos of Kaizo Mario World have received millions of views online.

The Japanese word "kaizō" (改造) simply refers to ROM hacking in the gaming industry, since its literal meaning is "reorganize," "restructure," or "reconstruct," but Kaizo Mario World's prominence means that this term has been used by other hacks to indicate an extreme level of difficulty, such as Kaizo Mario Bros. 3, Kaizo Mario 64, and the Kaizo Caverns Minecraft map in Vechs's Super Hostile map series. Kaizo Junior refers to levels in Super Mario Maker that introduce Kaizo mechanics in a fair environment.
