This alphabetical list of fictional deities provides information about the sundry deities in the religions, cultures, and mythologies of various fictional universes. Fictional entities/beings who personify elements and concepts as well as those who possess deity-level abilities are also listed here.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Bionicle

The Belgariad and The Malloreon

Buffyverse

Charmed Universe

Greek deities, Hindu deities, and many other mythological beings have been adapted into the Charmed version of them. One example of this would be; thousands of years before the main storyline, the Titans[6] once ruled the world, but were abusive of their powers. Seeking to entomb them, the Elders of that time created the Greek gods by infusing mortals with a mystical power beyond their own. Ironically, the self-declared Gods of Mount Olympus would later force the world to worship them too for many years.

The Dark Tower (And Other Works by Stephen King)

DC Universe

The DC Universe simultaneously adapts every aspect of theology into its mythos, from Greek to Norse to even atheism and various fictional religions. Examples of gods featured in its narrative include:

Various other characters such as Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel, gifted with godly strength on par with their benefactors are sometimes considered deities.

Destroy All Humans!

The furon God is portrayed by a statue which resembles an ancient North American or Hawaiian tiki god.

Dinosaurs

Digimon

Discworld

Doctor Who

British sci-fi drama Doctor Who's setting has featured many god-like beings in its run, with simultaneous rational explanations for their presence. Earlier seasons presented the White Guardian and Black Guardian, personified forces of the universe. There was also the Mara, an evil entity which occupied "the dark places of the inside(or mind), during the Fifth Doctor. In the first story which featured the Mara, entitled "Kinda," the story contained elements animistic tribal beliefs, whereas in the second story, entitled "Snakedance", also featuring the Mara, contained elements of Buddhist belief. The new series features the demonic, Devil-like adversary "The Beast" and son Abaddon. References have also been made to a Kaled god of war and various other deities inspired by the Beast. In the far-flung future, the feline humanoids called The Sisters of Plenitude worship a Goddess of Antori, although it's clear that some elements of Christianity, such as its hymns, are still around in this era.

Dune universe

Religion is incredibly important to the Dune series, and while many of the religions portrayed in the series are based on modern faiths several characters are god-like figures who are worshipped.

The Elder Scrolls

Note: Morihaus and Reman are not part of the Nine Divines, but they are worshipped in Cyrodiil where the cult of the Nine is most popular.

Note: Nerevar is not a member of the Tribunal Temple, but the three God-Kings of Morrowind formed the Tribunal Temple by killing him (allegedly).

The Dark Brotherhood is a cult and assassins guild. They worship two mysterious beings:

They also seem to worship some Daedra:

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Everworld

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser

Final Fantasy X

Glorantha

The world of RuneQuest, created by Greg Stafford, was one of the first to bring myths, cults and religions to become major plot themes, rather than plot devices, in a fantasy setting. It is also very diverse in that it features 13 main pantheons and "arrays" of deities, and numbers some 250 single or small groups of divine aspects.

Hercules & Xena

Legacy of Kain

The Legend of Zelda

Various characters are described as gods or deities in The Legend of Zelda series. While the three primary gods of Hyrule are its three creator goddesses (Din, Farore and Nayru) as worshipped by Hylians, Dekus, Gorons and Zoras alike, there are other guardian spirits on Earth such as The Great Deku Tree, Lord Jabu-Jabu (or Jabun) and Valoo who act in a divine, planetary guardian role and are worshiped as deities. Operating in a similar protective role of the planet are the Light Spirits, Ordona, Faron, Eldin, and Lanayru. Other characters such as Zephos and Cyclos, while clearly demonstrating godlike abilities, have not had their place in the pantheon of Hylian gods and spirits clearly established. The major gods are channeled through various sages and oracles, the oracles carrying names in likeness of their gods. Separate from the rest of the species and races of Hyrule, the Gerudo worship a fourth sand goddess, although it is unclear whether or not she actually exists.

Alternate worlds such as Termina seem to carry their own pantheon of gods, such as its creator gods, The Four Giants and "The Fierce Deity". Foreign lands seem to also have gods or spirits protecting them separately, such as the Maku Tree of Labrynna and Maku Tree of Holodrum. The Wind Fish is another deity of power enough to create an entire living world within his sleeping mind. In addition to these, several central villains of the series who did not start life as gods have either achieved the status, power or at least belief in themselves as such later in their character histories, including Ganondorf, Vaati and Majora.

Middle-earth

Midkemia

The Higher Gods are connected with the basic matter of the world. They show no interest in the conduct of man. Prayers aren't heard, an answer is not forthcoming. From the four Higher Gods that remained we know: Abram-Sev, the giver of laws, the thunderer; Ev-Dem, the worker from within, the calculator of chances; Graf, the weaver of wishes; and Helbinor, He Who Abstaines. The other three were Ishap, The One Above All; Arch-Indar, the goddess of good and Nalar, the destroyer.

Prayers are made to the Lower Gods. They can be described as forces of nature who are prepared to interact with man. They have a soul and a consciousness, and the more people pray to them, the more powerful they become. That's why supposedly 'dead' gods can return. The Lower Gods who have dealings with Midkemia are divided into three categories:

Besides these gods there's made a mention of four 'disappeared' gods, among them Sarig, the god of magic. These four will return sometime.
