Power Stone (パワーストーン) is a 3D fighting game developed by Capcom for Sega NAOMI hardware in 1999. It was also one of the first releases for the Sega Dreamcast, coming to the console later in the year.

The game is a four-player top-down fighting game, where players can use special attacks and utilise objects to beat their oppoents. The levels also spawn "Power Stones", which can significantly boost the player's performance if collected.

Power Stone was followed by a sequel, Power Stone 2, and both games have were re-released as part of the PlayStation Portable compilation Power Stone Collection.
