Hi-Vision LD is an an analog high definition optical disc video format. It was developed in 1991 by a partnership of five Japanese companies, and released for industrial and consumer use in 1992. It is similar to the ordinary LaserDisc format, but it uses a different wavelength laser for greater information density, and Multiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding to store high-definition (1035i) video.

While the format only saw a consumer release in Japan, prototype players were made for the North American and European markets.

There were more than 150 titles released for the format, with releases continuing through at least 1998. Hi-Vision LD players were manufactured until May 2002.
