"Demons of the Deep" is a single-player roleplaying gamebook written by Steve Jackson (the American game designer, rather than the series co-creator), illustrated by Duncan Smith and originally published in 1984 by Puffin Books. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. It is the 19th in the series in the original Puffin series (ISBN 0-14-031921-2). There are currently no announced plans to republish this book as part of the modern Wizard series.

Demons of the Deep contains many successful endings, though some are 'more successful' than others.

This is the only gamebook of those that the American Steve Jackson wrote that follow a traditional linear design. In this gamebook, the reader takes on the role of the first mate of the merchant ship "Sunfish". Unfortunately, before the adventure even begins, the pirate ship "Troll" strikes. The entire crew, save for the main character, are slain. Although the protagonist is merely knocked unconscious, waking grants little respite, as a quick walk off the stern of ship follows. The player sinks into the sea but, thanks to magic, doesn't drown, beginning an adventure in an ancient domain sunken beneath the waves. The player character must collect black pearls and learn a spell to form skeletons from them, then use them to attack and defeat the pirate crew of the "Troll".
