Bahamut Senki (バハムート戦記) (translated as Record of the Bahamut War) is a tactical role-playing game developed for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. It was only released in Japan.

The game offers a unique soundtrack for each of the many playable "races" in the game, and has various levels of gameplay that ranged from arcade Archon-style creature-on-creature combat to strategy similar to Koei's strategy games like Gemfire and Nobunaga's Ambition. Two-player games are also an option, given the variety that the game offered with the occasional arcade action battle to break up the quiet strategy and planning.

At one time, this game was credited as being produced by Squaresoft (prior to their merger with Enix), which it would have been its only game for a Sega console had it been the case, and also as a prequel of Bahamut Lagoon. However, this game is not mentioned in Square Enix's Japanese web site and there is no mention of any Mega Drive information, which suggests the information is false.
