The '''Black Mage''' is one of the main characters in ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' and a member of the [[Warriors of Light]]. The character is unnamed and shares a name with its job class, [[Black Mage]]. Later in the game, if the [[Warriors of Light]] complete an optional quest from [[Bahamut]], their class is upgraded, and the Black Mage is upgraded to [[Black Wizard]]. The Black Mage is lacking in physical attacks but is capable of using most [[Black Magic]] spells.

In ''[[Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales]]'', Black Mage is one of the job classes that cameos in the microgame [[Job Juggler]]. Like the other characters, his sprite is taken from the NES version of ''Final Fantasy''.
