New Rally-X is a maze arcade game that was released by Namco in 1981. It runs on Namco Pac-Man hardware but uses a system similar to Bosconian and, as the name suggests, is the sequel to Rally-X, released in the previous year. The only differences are that it has slightly enhanced graphics, easier gameplay, a new soundtrack, and a "Lucky Flag" that gives the player extra points if collected. Some of the blocks in Rally-X have been changed into roads. It was manufactured in greater numbers and was much more popular (at least in Japan) than the original.

While the original Rally-X released under a Bally Midway license was a moderate hit in the United States, Bally Midway only distributed this updated version as an upgrade kit for Rally-X cabinets. The game appeared quite frequently in mainland Europe and the United Kingdom, mainly in the form of uncredited bootlegs. It was at least as popular as Rally-X in these regions, if not more so, primarily due to the game's greater playability and abundance of bootleg board stock.

A version of New Rally-X is the load-up game in the PlayStation Portable game Ridge Racer. The game was also released on the Microsoft Xbox 360 Xbox Live Arcade service on December 27, 2006 and on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on October 6, 2009. In addition, it is available in several editions of the Namco plug-n-play game series from Jakks Pacific.
