The XF551 is a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive produced by Atari, Inc. for the Atari 8-bit computers. Introduced in 1987, it matches the gray design language of the XE models. It was the first drive from the company with official support for double-density and double-sided floppy disks—360 kB of storage per disk—and was also the final floppy disk drive Atari produced for the 8-bit computers. The XF551 allows faster transfer speed when used in double-density mode, doubling performance.

The XF551 is generally considered the best of Atari's drive offerings; not only does it store three times as much data as the 1050, it is twice as fast and almost silent in operation.

The Atari XF551 disk drive is compatible with Atari 8-bit computers such as the Atari 400, 800, 800XL, and XE series, as it was specifically designed for that line of machines.
