Walt Disney Computer Software was an American computer and video game developer and publisher that was a subsidiary of Walt Disney Consumer Products, a division of The Walt Disney Company. It was established in 1988 when a group of "software development specialists" were spun off from Walt Disney Educational Productions and put under the leadership of Shelley Miles, then Vice President of The Walt Disney Music Company, to become the first entity in the Disney organization to internally develop or publish computer and video games for commercial release.

This subsidiary produced many Disney-themed games during several years of operation but was eventually shut down and reorganized in 1996 as Disney Interactive.
