{{nihongo foot|'''''Elevator Action'''''|エレベーターアクション|Erebētā Akushon|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}}  is a 1983 [[Shooter game|shooter]] [[Platformer|platform]] [[video game]] developed and published by [[Taito]] for [[Arcade video game|arcades]]. The player assumes the role of a secret agent infiltrating a 30-story building from the roof, then descending to ground level via elevators and stairways. Enemy agents emerge from closed doors and shoot at the player. The goal is to collect secret documents from specially marked rooms, then exit to a waiting getaway car. It runs on the [[Taito SJ System]] arcade system.

The game was a critical success and was the top-grossing game on the Japanese arcade charts for three months in late 1983. It has been ported to a variety of home systems and appeared on Taito compilations. An arcade sequel, ''[[Elevator Action Returns]]'' was released in 1994.
