Wizard of Wor is a 1981 maze video game developed by Dave Nutting Associates and published by Midway Manufacturing for arcades. The player controls a Worrior, who must defeat all the monsters inside enclosed mazes while being careful not to be destroyed themselves. The game can be played in multiplayer where two players can either cooperate or compete to destroy the monsters in the mazes.

The game was ported to the Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, Commodore Max, Atari 2600, and Atari 5200 and renamed to The Incredible Wizard for the Bally Astrocade.
