"Judge Dredd" has been the inspiration for two role-playing game systems. These games are based on the fictional world of the Judge Dredd series from the British comic "2000AD". The first was published under license by Games Workshop in the 1980s and used a rules system created specifically for the game. They also published a "Judge Dredd" boardgame, and another set in Mega City 1 based on the Block War concept. Their magazine, "White Dwarf" also featured articles for the RPG and also published a rules supplement for their "Blood Bowl" game (a fantasy version of American football) which included a team of Judges and a team of Fatties.

In 2002, Mongoose Publishing acquired the rights to publish games set in the worlds created by "2000AD", and they quickly released "Sláine" and "Judge Dredd" role-playing games, which used the D20 rules system. A total of 14 supplements were released for the "Judge Dredd d20 RPG", and it continues to be supported in their in-house magazine, "Signs & Portents".

Both role-playing games are unrelated to each other except for the setting.
