Hayao Nakayama (中山 隼雄) is a Japanese businessman and served as Sega's president from 1984 to 1999. He also worked for Microsoft Japan and Virgin PLAY and was former CEO of Cavia (later AQ Interactive) and Pasona. He is currently CEO of Amuse Capital. His son Haruki Nakayama is president of Marvelous.

Nakayama became vice chairman of the board of Sega directors in 1998, giving up his presidency role to Shoichiro Irimajiri[1]. Being more of an arcade-centric mindset, his new role put him in charge of the company's arcade divisions, having come under criticism for his handling of the home console business in the years prior to this job change.
