Blaze Fielding (ブレイズ・フィールディング) is a player character in Sega's Streets of Rage series of beat 'em up games, introduced in the original Streets of Rage in 1991. She is playable in all three games, starting out as an ex-police officer in the first game, a dance instructor in the second and becoming a private detective by the third game. Blaze is a master of sambo and judo who helps her companions, Adam Hunter and Axel Stone, defeat the evil boss of the crime syndicate, Mr. X throughout all three games.

Blaze Fielding made her debut in 1991's Streets of Rage (SoR) as a low-rank officer in the New York Police Department. Blaze is one of the three young cops who quit the city's corrupt police force in order to settle the rampage that has plagued the city and find out the responsible behind those events. Along with Adam Hunter and Axel Stone, she manages to defeat the syndicate leader (later named Mr. X) in his own headquarters.

In Streets of Rage 2, set one year later, Blaze, who has moved out of the city and became a dance teacher, discovers along with Axel and Adam's kid brother "Skate" that Adam has been kidnapped by Mr. X, who was believed to be dead in the previous battle, in order to lure Axel and Blaze to him in retaliation for his prior defeat. She and Axel set out to rescue their friend with Skate and a professional wrestler Max Thunder who is also one of Axel's friends. They manage to reach the hidden headquarters of the Syndicate on an isolated island and defeat Mr. X once again and free Adam in the end.

In Bare Knuckle III, the Japanese language version of Streets of Rage 3, Blaze, along with Axel, has rejoined the police force after the events of Streets of Rage 2. During the events of Bare Knuckle III, Axel and Blaze are being assigned to the leading two cases that will actually reveal to be interconnected: a Raxine explosion in the Wood Oak city that could be related to the Syndicate's activities, and the disappearance of General Petrov that could lead to a war between nations. They are being assisted by Adam, Skate and a mysterious ex-researcher Dr. Zan.
