Rampart is a 1990 video game released by Atari Games and Midway Games that combines the shoot 'em up, strategy, and puzzle genres. It debuted as an arcade game with trackball controls, and was ported to home systems. It had a limited US release in October 1990, and a wide release in early 1991. It was distributed in Japan by Namco.

Rampart is considered a precursor to the tower defense genre of the following decade.

The player controls and defends a territory consisting of a large wall surrounding a set of castles and cannons. The player alternately shoots at attacking ships or other players, and repairs damage within a time limit. Once the player defeats the opponent, the player can execute the commander, by walking the plank or beheading. The single-player game consists of six levels.
