Novagen Software Ltd (commonly referred to as Novagen) was a British software company that developed and published a number of computer games for a variety of platforms during the 1980s and early 1990s.

The company was set up by Paul Woakes and Bruce Jordan[2] and employed approximately 18 people.[3] In addition to running Novagen, Paul Woakes also developed and programmed the vast majority of the company's products [citation needed] and the first version of a custom loading scheme that worked ten times faster than Commodore's own, which became Novaload.[4][5][6]
