"Dogfight" is a science fiction short story by American writers Michael Swanwick and William Gibson, first published in Omni in July 1985.

Traveling south by bus, he has a brief stopover in Virginia and encounters Tiny Montgomery, a crippled military veteran who is the local champion of the video game Spads & Fokkers.

Deciding to stay in the area, Deke steals a copy of the game and the equipment needed to play it and rents a room at a nearby apartment hotel.

He meets Nance Bettendorf, a college student studying brain-computer interfaces, and starts a relationship with her in order to secure her help in upgrading his equipment.

The local players regard Tiny as unbeatable due to his past use of hype and all the time he spends playing, but Deke becomes determined to unseat him.
