Lord of the Sword, known as Lord of Sword (ロードオブソード) in Japan, was originally developed and released in Japan, and later localized in English. It is an action role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the Sega Master System.

The player assumes the role of Landau, who must prove his worthiness to a council of elders and defeat the forces of the usurper Ra Goan. The game takes place in a sword-and-sorcery fantasy setting. There is a series of villages where the player can restore their health and buy upgrades. Between the villages is a variety of terrains occupied by enemies, which are fought using a sword and a bow and arrows.
