Daxter is a 2006 platform video game developed by Ready at Dawn and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable. A spin-off of the Jak and Daxter series, Daxter takes place during the two-year timeskip occurring during the opening cutscene of Jak II; unlike the other installments of the franchise focusing primarily on Jak, the game focuses on the adventures of his sidekick Daxter while Jak is imprisoned.

Daxter received generally positive reviews from critics and the game had sold more than 2.3 million units by June 2008.

The game was re-released on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in June 2024.
