Faster Than Light (FTL) was a label established by UK video game publisher Gargoyle Games. The aim was for FTL to publish arcade-style games, while Gargoyle would concentrate on its core business of text adventure games.

Note that this label should not be confused with FTL Games, the American company responsible for hits including Oids and Dungeon Master
