Sigma Co., Ltd. (株式会社シグマ), sometimes known as Sigma Enterprises, Inc. (株式会社シグマ商事), was a Japanese game company known as one of the earliest firms to succeed in the Japanese arcade market. The company appears to have a working relationship with Sega Enterprises, Ltd., with Sigma venues known to have hosted exclusive Sega arcade machines.

Sigma was most known for their dominance over a good majority of the Japanese arcade market. Despite this, it appeared eager to work with its competitor Sega Enterprises, Ltd., hosting exclusive Sega games at its arcades like the special Team NFL UFO Catcher. In addition to its arcade ventures, Sigma also dabbled in publishing video games, releasing a pair of Mega Drive titles and even a single Game Gear title.

Despite sharing a similar name with developer Sigma Pro-Tech, and even publishing one of their games, the two companies were otherwise unrelated.[1] Pro-Tech would later be acquired entirely by Sigma in 1992; however, that same year, Sigma chose to end its video game business, resulting in Pro-Tech not making any future games.[1]
