Midgard is a fantasy role-playing game from Germany. It was the first role-playing game published in German and the first to be created in Germany.

Midgard is also the name of the world on which the game is usually played (originally named Magira but later renamed due to legal problems). However, the rules of the game are designed in a way that makes it possible to play Midgard on nearly every world.

Despite its name, the game doesn't have anything in common with the mythological Midgard.
