The Lord of the Rings Roleplaying Game, released by Decipher Inc. in 2002, is a role-playing game set in the Middle-earth of J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. The game is set in the years between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, but may be run at any time from the First to Fourth Age and contains many examples of how to do so. Sourcebooks cover the events of The Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson's film trilogy adaptation.

The system for LOTR is called CODA, and involves rolling two six-sided dice to resolve actions. In 2003, LOTR won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game 2002.

The game is the second licensed role-playing game for the setting, the prior game being Middle-earth Role Playing from Iron Crown Enterprises. A fourth role-playing game set in Middle-earth is currently being published (since 2011) by Cubicle 7 under the title The One Ring Roleplaying Game.
