Blizzard Entertainment, tidigare Silicon & Synapse, är ett amerikanskt mjukvaruföretag med inriktning på spel. År 2008 slogs företagets dåvarande ägare, Vivendi Games, samman med Activision och bildade Activision Blizzard som Blizzard då ställdes under.

Blizzard ligger bakom flera av 1990-talets storsäljande titlar som RTS-spelen Warcraft och StarCraft samt RPG-spelet Diablo. Deras senaste släppta spel är Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, vilket är ett digitalt CCG (Collectible Card Game).
