* ''[[Deus Ex]]''. {{spoiler|And they're debatably the '''good''' guys. Their rogue spin-off organization, the Majestic 12, on the other hand, are decidedly not.}}

** Also featured in the prequel [[Deus Ex: Human Revolution|Human Revolution.]] {{spoiler|Taggart describes the Illuminati as "just a name used to get rich people to invest more money," and he's not far off; the organization's every attempt to assert more control over the world goes completely off the rails, often due to internal sabotage. It's no wonder the first game's [[Big Bad]] was able to usurp nearly all of their resources for Majestic 12.}}

* The Illuminati will be one of the three playable factions in the upcoming conspiracy-themed MMORPG ''[[The Secret World]]'', along with the Templars (who are not, but have ties to, the historical [[Knights Templar]]) and an Asian-themed "Dragon" society.

* The resident [[Conspiracy Theorist]] Gomez in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'' has a particularly convoluted theory about the Illuminati (read it [[Conspiracy Theorist/Quotes|here]]). Of course, this being the [[Old World of Darkness]], that theory has a good chance to be true...

* One episode of ''[[American Dad]]'' features a group called the Illumi''nut''i, which guards the secret history of peanut butter.

* In ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]'', The Light seems to have a lot of Illuminati-characteristics, down to the name ("The Light" being very similar to "the enlightened ones"). In addition, the first member of The Light is [[Vandal Savage]], who formed the Illuminati in the comics.

* Bill Cipher from ''[[Gravity Falls]]'' is basically a living manifestation of the usual Illuminati symbold, being a walking Eye in a Pyramid. Fittingly, he's ''the'' [[Big Bad]].
