This is an index page for works of fiction revolving around gods and demigods. To qualify, the story must have a god or demigod as the main protagonist or {{Deuteragonist}}.

Characters whose powers are [[PhysicalGod comparable to gods]] but are not explicitly stated to be gods or stories that only mention gods do not count.
