Head On is an arcade video game developed by Sega/Gremlin and released by Sega in 1979. It was the first maze video game where the goal is to run over dots. Designed by Lane Hauck at Sega/Gremlin in the United States, it was the fourth highest-grossing arcade game of 1979 in both Japan and the US.

Sega released a sequel, Head On Part II, later the same year. The original inspired a number of clones, as well as Namco's Rally-X (1980).
