Multiplayer BattleTech was a PC MMORPG BattleTech game developed by Kesmai and featured on the now defunct GEnie online gaming network.

It featured a text-based chat component for roleplaying, team development and battle planning and a 3D battle simulator component. The game engine was based on a heavily modified version of the original MechWarrior. Multiplayer BattleTech was followed by Multiplayer Battletech: Solaris.

Computer Gaming World in 1993 stated that "Fans of MechWarrior will not want to miss this next generation of the classic simulation ... both addicting and satisfying".

Multiplayer BattleTech won Computer Gaming World's 1993 "Online Game of the Year" award. The editors called it "a simulation that looks like Activision's classic MechWarrior, but performs significantly better with real human 'mech pilots on your flanks."
