Human Head Studios was a game development studio based in Madison, Wisconsin (USA). Founded in 1997, Human Head began as a single-team development studio. The company then expanded to over 25 veteran developers across two teams.

The studio closed down on 13 November 2019, immediately following the release of Rune II. Right away, a new studio Roundhouse Studios was established with the same staff and based in the same office, with the help of Bethesda Softworks, but would itself close on 7 May 2024.
