Creation was a cancelled real-time strategy video game developed by Bullfrog Productions as a spin-off of their Syndicate series of real-time tactics games. Set on an alien water world, a player-controlled submarine is tasked with looking after marine life and defending it from the Syndicate, who run planet Earth.

Creation was the working title of multiple Bullfrog games, including Magic Carpet, Power Monger, and Populous. An aquatic-based incarnation of Creation became Magic Carpet, and the final incarnation was led by Guy Simmons. The game was in development for MS-DOS, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Amiga CD32. Due for release in 1997, Creation was cancelled due to fears that it would be unsuccessful.
