Silkroad Online is a free massively-multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created by the South Korean company Joymax. Silkroad is based on the history of trading in China along the Silk Road, a historical network of trade routes in Asia. The game attempts to reproduce the Silk Road in a much smaller scale, looking realistic and at the same time incorporating fantasy elements such as the use of special magical skills and abilities. One of the game's most noted features is allowing players to choose three different job roles after their character achieves level 20.

The Korea and international version of Silkroad Online have released both the Chinese and European races, classes, and a large map that includes both Asian and central European locations, such as Constantinople. Different races also have access to different character abilities. The expanded game includes European architecture, characters, clothing, and whole new abilities for European players to use.

Silkroad Online is free-to-play and uses an item mall.
