Heavy Action is a piece of music composed by Johnny Pearson that is best known for its use on Monday Night Football.

It was not originally written for the NFL's weekly showcase, however. It was composed expressly for the BBC's television series Superstars. In 1971, ABC acquired the rights to use "Heavy Action" as the opening theme music to Monday Night Football. Three years later, this same music was used as the theme for the now defunct syndicated SFM Holiday Network monthly offering of family feature films.

In 1987, Edd Kalehoff arranged an entirely new recording of "Heavy Action" for the final years of Monday Night Football on ABC.
