Lords of Conquest is a 1986 strategy computer game. It was developed by Eon Software, Inc, (collectively Bill Eberle, Jack Kittredge, Peter Olotka, and Trevor Western) and produced by Don Daglow. It was published by Electronic Arts. It was released for the Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST and PC DOS.

The game is based on the Eon board game Borderlands, and was marketed with the slogan "Better than Risk!" to identify it as a global conquest game similar to Risk. It proved to be one of EA's best-selling titles of 1986.

GameSpy.com awarded Lords of Conquest a "Gotcha" award as one of the top games of its era.

The Eon team is best known for their design of the highly acclaimed board game Cosmic Encounter.
