Nakajima Satoru F-1 Hero (known in North America as Michael Andretti's World GP) is a video game developed by Human Entertainment released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. It starred American Indy car driver Michael Andretti, and featured the full sixteen-race schedule of the FIA Formula One World Championship circuit (though Andretti himself would only compete in Formula One in the 1993 season).

F-1 Hero was unique in that it deviated from most console racing games of its time. Instead of being an arcade-style driving game (such as Rad Racer or Al Unser Jr.'s Turbo Racing), F-1 Hero more closely resembled a simulation-style racing game. It was the first NES racing game to feature an entire field of real-life drivers (although all but Andretti had pseudonyms), and rather accurately depicted the sixteen circuits on the Formula One schedule. Four different cars were offered in the game, but there were no car set-ups in the game, a feature most frequently associated with racing simulations.
