Heimdall is an action role-playing game developed by The 8th Day, published by Core Design, and released in 1991 for the Amiga and for the Atari ST and MS-DOS in 1992. A Mega-CD version was published in early 1994. The game is a mixture of puzzle-solving, exploration, and dynamic combat mechanics, where players must explore various islands in the search for the fabled weapons belonging to the gods of Norse mythology. The game received favourable reviews upon its release, except for the Mega-CD which received mixed feedback.

A sequel, Heimdall 2, was developed by the same group and released three years later in 1994.
