Linux Game Publishing (sometimes also referred to as LGP) is a software company based in Nottingham in England. It ports, publishes and sells video games running on Linux operating systems.

The company was founded in 2001 by Michael Simms when the similarly oriented Loki Software filed for bankruptcy.[1] As well as porting games, LGP also sponsors the development of Grapple, a free software network library for games. In December 2008, LGP also launched PenguinPlay, a new website for Linux gamers, allowing matchmaking for multiplayer games, and social networking.
