Lords of the Middle Sea is a 1978 board wargame published by Chaosium.

Designed by Lynn Willis, with art by William Church and Gene Day.

"[2] Eric Goldberg reviewed Lords of the Middle Sea in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 7 out of 9.

While this is a fairly simple strategic game, there is enough of substance to warrant several playings.

"[3] In 2020, Chaosium announced that the Lords of the Middle Sea setting was to be the basis of a tabletop role-playing game using Basic Roleplaying and written by John Snead.
