Turnabout, known in Japan as Migi Hidari (U-SA) (右左 (U-SA), literally "Right Left (U-SA)") is a puzzle video game developed by Artdink for the PlayStation. The player's objective is to rotate the stage's screen 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise until colored balls fall and touch other balls or stationary blocks of the same color, causing the matched objects to disappear. The round is complete when all colored objects have been removed.

Shinichi Senoo was the creator and project lead. Artdink self-published the game in Japan in 2000. It was released by Natsume Inc. in North America and distributed by Zoo Digital Publishing in Europe in 2003. The game was made available on the Japanese and North American PlayStation Network, while Japan also saw a Java-based browser version and a mobile version for iPod Touch and iPhone.
