Sunset Riders[a] is a side-scrolling run and gun video game developed and released by Konami as an arcade video game in 1991. It is set in the American Old West, where the player(s) take control of bounty hunters who are seeking the rewards offered for various criminals.

The coin-op version was released in two variants: a two-player version and a four-player version. Home console versions of Sunset Riders were released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1992 and for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993, to a positive reception. The arcade version was rereleased in 2010, as part of Game Pack 012 of Game Room for Xbox 360, and another emulated version of the arcade original was released by Hamster Corporation for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as part of the company's Arcade Archives series.
