Captain Blood (L'Arche du Captain Blood in France) is a French video game made by ERE Informatique (soon relabeled with their short-lived Exxos label) and released by Infogrames in 1988. It was later re-released in the UK by Players Premier Software.

The game was first released on the Atari ST, and was later for the Commodore 64, Macintosh, Amiga, Apple IIGS, IBM PC, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, and Thomson TO8 / MO6. The ST version is the only version that includes the full set of alien language sounds.

The title tune is a stripped down version of "Ethnicolor" by Jean-Michel Jarre.
