Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero is a 1997 action-adventure video game developed and published by Midway for the PlayStation and Nintendo 64. A spin-off of the Mortal Kombat franchise, it is the first title not to be a competitive fighting game.

Set before the original 1992 game, players control Bi-Han, the elder Sub-Zero, during his quest to find Shinnok's amulet. It also serves as a prequel to Mortal Kombat 4, released the same year, featuring characters and story elements that would be used in the fourth main title. Mythologies is the last game in the series to use digitized actors.

The game attracted a divisive critical response, with the PlayStation version considered the superior of the two releases. Praise was directed at the PlayStation version's transition from fighting game genre to action-adventure and the live-action cutscenes, but the punishing controls and level design received negative reviews.
