Fighter's History is a 1993 fighting game developed and published by Data East for arcades. It is the first installment in the Fighter's History series. The main unique feature of the Fighter's History is its weak point system, which allows the player to temporarily stun an opponent by repeatedly hitting their weak point.

Fighter's History was the subject of a lawsuit against Data East by Capcom, who claimed the game infringed on the copyright of its game Street Fighter II. The case was found in Data East's favor, as the court found that the copied elements were scenes a faire, elements necessary for depicting the scenario. Fighter's History was ported to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, and followed by a sequel, Karnov's Revenge, for the Neo Geo.

Fighter's History uses a six-button control configuration similar to Street Fighter II and its iterations, with three punch buttons and three kick buttons, each for different strength levels (light, medium, and heavy). There are a total of nine playable characters, as well as two non-playable boss characters at the end of the single-player tournament. The final boss and sponsor of the tournament is revealed to be Karnov, the protagonist of the Data East action game of the same name.

The main unique feature Fighter's History is its "weak point system". By repeatedly hitting an opponent's weak point, the player can temporarily stun them once per round, leaving the opponent open for an attack. The location of an opponent's weak spot varies with each character and is usually represented by a specific article of clothing (i.e.: a headband, a vest, a mask). After an opponent's weak point is exposed, hitting it will also cause the opponent to sustain greater damage when the weak point is repeatedly struck afterward.
