Sega Swirl is a puzzle game developed by Tremor Entertainment and published by Sega. It was originally released for Windows-based PCs (running Macromedia/Adobe Shockwave) but saw the most success as an updated Sega Dreamcast title. It was also brought to Palm OS. Sega Swirl is essentially a glorified version of SameGame (pronounced Sah-meh-gah-meh), a tile-removal game that has been mimicked numerous times. It is the creation of Scott Hawkins.

The game is an oddball in the Dreamcast's library as it was not released commercially. Instead, it was bundled with copies of the Official Dreamcast Magazine in the UK and US, with the Web Browser 2.0 software, with Sega Smash Pack Volume 1, and for a period, with new Dreamcast consoles. The Dreamcast version has a real-time versus mode, however both the Dreamcast and PC versions allow two players to compete via email. As a result, it is possible for PC players to play against Dreamcast users.

The PC version uses more simplified graphics and also takes control of the mouse in certain situations such as the attract mode, and the versus mode with computer controlled opponents.

Sega Swirl was followed by Sega Swirl 2.
