The Restoration Game is a 2010 science fiction novel by Ken MacLeod.

The novel's main character is Lucy Stone, a computer programmer who was born in the fictional Caucasian Soviet republic of Krassnia but now works for a videogame company in Edinburgh. After Stone's mother, who once worked for the CIA, commissions her company to create an MMPORG based on Krassnian mythology, Stone becomes entangled in the region's politics and her own family history.

The story is set in the year 2008. MacLeod has said that he originally intended to set it in the near future, but the 2008 South Ossetia war made this impossible.

Reviews of the novel have generally been positive.
