Ragnarok: The Animation is a Japanese-Korean anime television series based on the MMORPG Ragnarok Online. The story happens in the same world of Rune-Midgard. An evil entity called the Dark Lord wants to create chaos in the world with the help of seven crystals that represent the seven ambitions (also known as the Seven Strengths) who sealed him away years ago.

It was produced in the first quarter of 2004 and was broadcast on TV Tokyo in Japan. In 2005, it was broadcast on SBS in Korea. It has 26 episodes.

The Philippine and Brazilian distributor of the game, Level Up! Games, Inc., cooperated with ABS-CBN Corporation for local licensing and distribution rights of Ragnarok: The Animation. The anime series first premiered in the Philippines on ABS-CBN on October 11, 2004, airing right before TV Patrol. It was the first anime that aired on the network's Primetime Bida evening block.

FUNimation Entertainment acquired the U.S. license of Ragnarok in 2007.
