Crystal Dynamics is an American video game developer based in the San Francisco Bay area. It was acquired by Eidos Interactive, a British video game publisher, in 1998, and is still part of the Eidos group. Eidos Interactive has been subsequently acquired by British entertainment company SCi in 2005.

Crystal Dynamics has developed games both for the PC and for various consoles. At one time, Crystal Dynamics was also a publisher; mostly publishing games that it had developed itself. However, it also published several games developed by other companies.

Crystal Dynamics is most well known for developing the Legacy of Kain and Gex series, but in 2006 the studio finished development of Legend and is now believed to control the reigns of the best-selling Tomb Raider franchise.
