Gamania Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (Gamania) is a PC online game and digital entertainment corporation with its headquarters located in New Taipei, Taiwan. It was the first Taiwanese online game brand to expand globally, with overseas branch offices publishing and developing digital entertainment contents in Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. It was also looking to set up branch offices in North America and Europe in 2010.

Gamania has over 10 million registered members around the world, built from Korean PC online games such as Lineage, MapleStory, Counter-Strike Online and Kart Rider. Its subsidiary development companies produce MMOGs such as Bright Shadow and Zodiac (Lucent Heart in Japan), which was awarded the Best New Game in 2008 by WebMoney Awards.

Gamania's core business is currently PC online gaming, but it aims to diversify into other fields of digital entertainment. Its creative center has been producing multiple award-winning animation projects. An animation series co-produced with Cartoon Network, Hero: 108, launched in North America and Europe in 2010.

Gamania is listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (Code# 6180).

As of 2012, Gamania has changed focus from overseas to the local market of Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan and as such, closed down US/Europe Beanfun services.
