Raiden[雷電] is a vertically scrolling shooter video game originally developed by Seibu Kaihatsu and distributed by Tecmo in Japan on September 1990. It was the first game in the Raiden series of vertical scrolling shooter arcade games. The arcade version was also distributed in North America by Fabtek, Taiwan by Liang HWA Electronics, South Korea by IBL Corporation, Hong Kong by Wah Yan Electronics and in a few other countries such as Malaysia, though the publishers in those countries are unknown.

Raiden takes place in the year 2090 where the Earth has suddenly become the target of an deranged alien empire race known as the Cranassians and after the invasion, the World Alliance Military builds a new cutting-edge weapon based on a captured alien craft, the Raiden Supersonic Attack Fighter, as the only hope for humanity to survive. The game is inspired by other games in the genre such as Capcom's 1942 and Toaplan's Twin Cobra.

In addition to the original arcade version, several ports were released to multiple consoles and computers such as Sega Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, Super NES, FM Towns, PC Engine Super CD-ROM², Atari Jaguar, MS-DOS, PlayStation, Atari Lynx, among others. Ports for both the Amiga and the Atari Falcon were in development by Imagitec Design but ultimately never released.

Raiden was successful in the arcades, despite doubts by the staff at Seibu Kaihatsu, managing to sell 17,000 units worldwide and it was well received by players and critics alike. Console and computer ports of the game received generally positive reviews as well and due to the success of the original, multiple sequels and related games were developed.
