Star Wars Galaxies (Galaxies) is a discontinued Star Wars-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for Microsoft Windows, developed by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and published by LucasArts.

The open world Star Wars game was released in stores on 26 June 2003. Galaxies spawned several expansions and updates through 2005.

The servers shut down on 15 December 2011 due to contract expiration. There are several private emulator projects in various stages of development that intend to allow users to experience Galaxies in different incarnations of the game's existence.
