The Iran Computer and Video Games Foundation (ICVGF) (بنیاد ملی بازیهای رایانهای; Bonyād-e Mellī-ye Bāzī-hā-ye Rāyāneh-ī), also known in English as the National Foundation for Computer Games (NFCG), is an Iranian cultural institution affiliated with the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance that supports and regulates parts of Iran's video game sector.
The foundation's statute describes it as a non-profit, non-governmental cultural and artistic institute with independent legal personality, operating under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and headquartered in Tehran.
Established in 2007, the foundation has been described as working to develop domestic game production (including training and industry events) while implementing national content guidance through mechanisms such as Iran's game rating system.
It has also been reported to participate in licensing and enforcement decisions affecting some foreign titles and access to certain game-related services in Iran, particularly where authorities consider content politically or culturally sensitive.
