Time Gal (タイムギャル) is a 1985 LaserDisc FMV arcade game by Taito. Wolf Team brought it to the Sega Mega-CD in 1992, and Taito produced a port to the Sega Mega LD in 1995.

You play as a time traveller who must stop a rich guy from altering the future by dodging various deadly obstacles throughout time. At some points in the game, you are given a menu-based choice as to what to do next.

The original arcade game was later remade on the Sega Saturn as part of Time Gal & Ninja Hayate.
