A level editor (also known as a map, campaign or scenario editor) is a software application used to design levels, maps, or campaigns for a computer or video game. In some cases the creator of a video game releases an official level editor for a game, but other times the community of fans steps in to fill the void.
An individual involved with the creation of game levels is a level designer, or mapper.
Some of the level editors in existence are:
- Q4Radiant Built-in editor for Quake 4
- MohRadiant Editor for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
- UnrealEd
- Lunar Magic, an editor for Super Mario World.
- Warcraft III World Editor
- Tomb Raider Level Editor
- Star Wars Battlefront BFBuilder
- Valve Hammer Editor for Half-Life 2 (and related Steam games)
- TimeSplitters level editor
- TimeSplitters 2 level editor
- Future Perfect level editor
- Far Cry Instincts Map Editor for Far Cry
- Pariah level editor
- Serious Editor, the level editor for Serious Sam
- Jed Editor for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II

In the early years of video-gaming, some games came with a utility called a Construction set. This was similar in many ways to a level-editor. Some games used them to create extra levels, whereas overs (like the Shoot'Em-Up Construction Kit) used them as a means to create a game rather than be a game in itself. Some examples of games with Construction sets include:
- Pinball Construction Set
- Adventure Construction Set
- Shoot'Em-Up Construction Kit
- Racing Destruction Set
