Action Replay was a series of devices by Datel that allowed gamers to input codes in order to enable cheats in video games. On systems with region-locking, it also worked as an import boot disc, allowing games from other regions to be booted via the menu.

Until the company went bankrupt in 2001, InterAct licensed the Action Replay devices for sale in North America under the GameShark brand name. After 2001, Datel published Action Replay devices in North America directly.
