Imhotep is a video game for the Commodore 64 released by Ultimate Play The Game in 1985. Although published by Ultimate, it was developed by an independent programmer, Manuel Caballero. Unlike earlier arcade adventure titles such as The Staff of Karnath or Entombed it is a straightforward shooter game, with an Ancient Egypt theme.

Imhotep is also the name of an unrelated video game for the TRS-80. Players attempted to build Djoser's step pyramid by allocating resources to materials and labor. Each turn a step was built, but the likelihood of a collapse also increased.

It was referenced in the British television comedy series Look Around You.
