Niigata Joypolis (新潟ジョイポリス), later Magic City @ Niigata Joypolis (マジックシティ@新潟ジョイポリス) was a Joypolis amusement theme park opened by Sega. The second of the Joypolis venues to be opened by Sega, it proved to perform poorly, and by April 1998 had its operations outsourced to foreign company Magic City Co. Ltd. as part of a restructuring.

Under its new ownership, the park was renamed to Magic City @ Niigata Joypolis, losing several of its original attractions and its original décor on the ground floor, and gaining several new restaurants as well as an electronic card payment system in the process. It closed permanently in January 2001, later becoming a shopping complex.
