Guardian Heroes (ガーディアンヒーローズ) is a beat-'em-up game developed by Treasure and published by Sega exclusively for the Sega Saturn in 1996.

The game would be see a sequel eight years later with Advance Guardian Heroes.

A port of the game is to be released for Xbox Live Arcade in Autumn 2011. Screenshots in an E3 press release suggest it will use a filter applied to the original Saturn graphics, rather than using redrawn HD graphics.
