Ogle is a DVD player for GNU/Linux, and other Unix-like operating systems. It is released as free software under the GNU GPL license. It was originally developed in 1999 by a few students at Chalmers Tekniska Högskola (Chalmers University of Technology) in Göteborg, Sweden, and maintained until late 2003. It was the first free software /open source DVD player able to play DVD menus and can play CSS encrypted DVDs but does not play DVDs with ripping protection schemes such as Arccos common on movie DVDs from major studios. It does not play anything other than DVDs.

Ogle is copyright-licensed to the public under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
