Gemfire is a 1991 strategy video game developed and published by Koei for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and later ported to Japanese home computers, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega Genesis, DOS, and Microsoft Windows. The object in the game is to unify a fictional island by force. Players use a variety of units, such as archers, infantry and dragons, in order to capture the castle needed to control that particular territory.

A sequel, Royal Blood II: Chronicles of the Kingdom of Dinar, was released in Japan for Windows.
