Prophecy: The Viking Child (shortened to Viking Child on some systems) is a video game created by Imagitec Design Limited for the Atari ST, Amiga, Atari Lynx, Game Boy, and MS-DOS compatible operating systems in 1991. The Atari ST original was programmed by Mark Fisherwith with graphics by Anthony Rosbottom and music by Barry Leitch and Ian Howe.

Ports to the Game Gear, Master System,[citation needed] and Commodore 64 were cancelled. A planned sequel, Viking Child 2, was not released.

The game closely resembled Sega's Wonder Boy in Monster Land, as certain elements like collecting hidden gold, upgrading the character's weapons and visiting shops were practically identical, despite the difference in release times.

The game features no save game feature. However, passwords can be earned and used to allow access to later levels.
