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-88 in 1988, before being ported to the Turbo CD, 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.
