Moon Cresta[a] is a 1980 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Nihon Bussan for arcades.

Incentive Software published ports of Moon Cresta for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Dragon 32 and ZX Spectrum home computers. In 2022, the original arcade version was included in the Sega Astro City Mini V, a vertically-oriented variant of the Sega Astro City mini console.[5]
