The Rockman Classic series is the colloquial term referring to the original series of Rockman games from Capcom, which debuted 17 December 1987 on the NES with the release of Rockman. The main games in this series are simply titled Rockman, so the word "Classic" is added to disambiguate it from the later Rockman series.

Rockman appeared in six platform shooters originally for the Nintendo Entertainment System/Family Computer, two for the Super Famicom/Super NES (one of them released only in Japan, but later released on the GBA in all regions), one for the Game Gear, one on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation, and five for the Nintendo Game Boy. (Capcom also released a compilation game for the Sega Genesis, titled Rockman: The Wily Wars. This game was released only in Europe and Japan, but was later offered to Sega Channel users as an exclusive game.)

In addition, there have been numerous side-story games, such as the sports game Rockman Soccer for the Super NES and the racing game Rockman: Battle and Chase on the PlayStation (Japan and PAL territories only). Many of the games were ported to or remade for newer consoles, most notably the six Famicom games being re-released in Japan with remixed music and unlockable bonus features on the PlayStation and the previously Japan-only Super Famicom game being re-released worldwide for the Game Boy Advance.

In 2004, the Rockman Anniversary Collection was released for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2, containing Rockman 1-8, as well as Rockman: The Power Battle and Rockman 2: The Power Fighters, two arcade games rarely seen outside of Japan. A version for the Xbox was released in March 2005. Rockman: Powered Up (Rockman Rockman in Japan), a remake of the first game, was released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006.

Plans had also been announced to release a collection of all five original Game Boy Rockman titles in color for the Game Boy Advance, also to be titled Rockman Anniversary Collection (originally announced as Rockman Mania). Several projected and rumored release dates came and went, and currently the project's future is unknown. Rumors have surfaced that the game has been cancelled for a variety of reasons (one interesting rumor suggests that the game's source code was somehow lost, though this is entirely unsubstantiated at this time).
