Chokobo no Fushigina Danjon (チョコボの不思議なダンジョン?) ("Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon") is a video game made for the Sony PlayStation and Bandai WonderSwan and released only in Japan. The game is vaguely linked to the Final Fantasy series of adventures with the series' trademark mascot, the chocobo. The game is a roguelike dungeon crawl (similar to Rogue or Nethack), and part of the Fushigi no Dungeon series. The game consists of a chocobo wandering through randomly generated dungeons, picking up items and battling enemies. The PlayStation version is almost all sprite-based, with some polygon-based objects.

The title character in Chokobo no Fushigina Danjon is a yellow chocobo named Pūre (プーレ Pūre?, short for Player), but the player can rename him.

The game received a large fanbase due to its tie-in to the Final Fantasy franchise as well as some animation and effects such as summoning the mainstay creatures of the series, including Ifrit and Bahamut in Super Deformed style.

The layout of the game consists of 3 dungeons: A ten level dungeon, a 30 level dungeon, and an infinite dungeon which recycles enemy types every 100 levels.

This game marks the solo composing debut of Masashi Hamauzu, who prepared both the soundtrack and an arrangement album named Coi Vanni Gialli.

Chokobo no Fushigina Danjon was followed by a sequel in 1998, Chocobo's Dungeon 2.
