Piranha Bytes GmbH is a German video game developer based in Essen. It is best known for their Gothic and Risen series of role-playing video games.

Piranha Bytes was founded in Bochum in 1997 and bought by Phenomedia in 1999. When Phenomedia filed for insolvency in May 2002, the Piranha Bytes management bought out the studio. THQ Nordic, as part of Embracer Group, then acquired the company in May 2019.

Piranha Bytes is reported to be in the process of closing since December 2023.
