Zodiak (Norman Harrison) is a supervillain, an enemy of Ghost Rider in the Marvel Comics universe.

The character, created by Mark Texeira, Howard Mackie and Javier Saltares, first appeared in Ghost Rider vol. 3 #10 (February 1991). He later appears in issues #11 (March 1991), #19 (November 1991), and #20 (December 1991). He also appeared in Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #28 (April 1991).

Within the context of the stories, Norman Harrison is the owner of an occult bookstore in Greenwich Village. He makes a deal with 12 demons, each representing a sign of the zodiac to give him power beyond his wildest dreams. The demons graft themselves to Norman, granting him powers based on the zodiac, such as growing horns, shooting energy arrows, controlling water, or flying. Calling himself Zodiak, Harrison begins to gain notoriety in the criminal underworld, and comes into conflict with Ghost Rider.
