Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Lance is an action game originally developed and released in 1988 in the United States, and eventually ported on twelve different platforms between 1988 and 1991. The Nintendo Entertainment System port was released in 1991.

It is the first video game in the Dragonlance series, and in particular the first game in the Silver Box trilogy.

Note that, despite the "Dungeons & Dragons" label, despite being officially based on the first Dragonlance role-playing module, and despite featuring experience points, Heroes of the Lance is absolutely NOT a role-playing game. In fact, the box artwork states clearly: "A Dragonlance action game".
