The Nihongo|"Super Hokuto"|スーパー北斗 and Nihongo|"Hokuto"|北斗 are limited express train services between Sapporo and Hakodate in Hokkaidō operated by Hokkaidō Railway Company (JR Hokkaidō). The journey time of the "Super Hokuto" is approximately 3 hours, faster than that of the "Hokuto".

The "Hokuto" is operated by KiHa 183 series DMUs. The "Super Hokuto" is operated by KiHa 281 and 283 series tilting DMUs. The service started in 1994 and cut journey time by about 30 minutes due to the higher speeds through the many curves of the line between Sapporo und Hakodate.
