Snatcher (スナッチャー) is a graphic adventure game originally developed for Japanese computers of the late 1980s. It was originally released for NEC's PC-8801 in 1988, before being ported to the CD-ROM², then the Sega Mega-CD, and later, the Sega Saturn. The Mega-CD version is the only version of the game released outside Japan.

It was Hideo Kojima's first adventure game. He followed it with his second adventure game, Policenauts.
