Action Fighter (アクション ファイター) is a 1986 vehicular combat game developed and published by Sega for the Master System. It was ported to Japanese arcades shortly after its release, and later to the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and IBM PC compatible computers in 1989.

The player begins the game riding a superbike. In subsequent levels, a sports car, a jet via added wings, jetski, helicopter and Formula One racing car can all be driven, as seen in the game's title screen. All of the vehicles are armed to deal with enemy vehicles and gun emplacements. The helicopter levels play as a vertically scrolling shooter.
