Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole is a 1992 action role-playing video game developed by Climax Entertainment and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis. The player takes on the role of the treasure hunter Nigel as they navigate a three-dimensional world through an isometric viewpoint, solving puzzles and fighting enemies.

The game was a critical and commercial success. A spinoff called Lady Stalker: Challenge from the Past was released in Japan for the Super NES in 1995. A sequel was in the planning stages but was cancelled. Dark Savior and Alundra are considered spiritual successors. Nigel is a playable character in Time Stalkers.

It has been re-released several times: on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007, Steam in 2011, on the Sega Genesis Mini in 2019, and on the Nintendo Classics service in 2023.
