House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn is a 2018 horror-themed rail shooter arcade game developed by Sega. It is the fifth mainline installment in The House of the Dead series, following the release of The House of the Dead 4 in 2005.

The game entered location testing on January 19–21, 2018 in Akihabara, Japan. It was released in all arcades of Japan on September 13, 2018, and was released in the United States through Dave & Buster's locations in October 2018. The game's release ended the franchise's nine-year hiatus of new installments, which began in 2009 with the initial Wii release of the spin-off/non-canon prequel The House of the Dead: Overkill.
