Lord Monarch (ロードモナーク, Rōdo Monāku) is a real-time strategy war game by Nihon Falcom.

In 1997, it was remade for Windows as Lord Monarch Online and released for free in both Japanese, and for the first time, English.

A later version of the game was broadcast exclusively for Japanese markets via the Super Famicom's Satellaview subunit under the name BS Lord Monarch.

In battle mode the player can choose from a large array of different art styles, such as playing as a foreign Japanese army, animals trying to take over a forest, monsters in hell or even as a fast food business.

The simplistic diplomacy system can never be used in a match after five minutes in the game, making it useful only for delaying war with a neighboring kingdom.

The player has a leader avatar that must liberate hanged men from the gallows to be his assistant, collect treasure chests from the countryside in order to gain a mass influx of gold, and force nearby cities to pay taxes.
