Dungeon Master is a role-playing video game featuring a pseudo-3D first-person perspective. It was developed and published by FTL Games for the Atari ST in 1987, almost identical Amiga and PC (DOS) ports following in 1988 and 1992.

Dungeon Master sold 40,000 copies in its year of release alone, and went on to become the ST's best-selling game of all time. The game was an influential early example of the first-person party-based dungeon crawler genre, with later examples including Eye of the Beholder (1991).
