Sega Mechatro Kenkyuu Kaihatsubu (セガメカトロ研究開発部), or Mechatro R&D Department was a research and development department of Sega, created in 1999 as a replacement for Sega AM4 and Sega AM6. The name is a portmanteau of "mechanics" and "electronics".

Like its predecessors, Mechatro produced the physical equipment used in arcade games (e.g. cabinets), though was largely left uncredited for its work.

It continued it's role as Product R&D in October of 2009.
