Video Action was a series of arcade and home releases by Control Sales, the sales arm of Universal Research Laboratories, released throughout 1974 to 1976. The series is notable for featuring the earliest home console release after the Odyssey (Magnavox), Video Action (AKA VA-1) and creating the earliest line of home console releases.

The games of the series ranged from Pong derivatives to light gun and racing games with the final release in the series, Indy 500 (Video Action IV) which used Video Action as a company brand name. Universal Research Laboratories exited the home market due to both financial concerns resulting in their bankruptcy and lawsuits from Magnavox.
