The Sega Pico (Japanese: キッズコンピューター・ピコ Kids' Computer Pico) is an edutainment console developed by Sega. In 1998, manufacturing of the Pico was handed over to Sega Toys, due to Sega focusing on the Dreamcast.

The Pico used book-shaped cartridges known as Storyware. Each time a player turns the page of the cartridge, the screen changes to replicate the image in the book. The games are controlled by buttons and a stylus. The back page of each book features a drawing mode, where the player can insert stamps of characters from within the book.

In 2005, in Japan only it was succeeded by the Advanced Pico Beena. According to Sega Toys, the Beena is intended to be the upper-end model in the Pico series.
