Stargate collectively refers to the fictional universe started with the 1994 science fiction feature film Stargate, and afterwards continued in novel form, two live-action television series and other derivative works. It is based on the premise of a Stargate, a device that allows for instant teleportation, by creating a wormhole to a complementary device on another planet. Discovered in 1928 at Giza, Egypt, its purpose was unknown until the late 1990s when it was discovered after study by several specialists and experts. A top-secret military program was created to explore the galaxy through it, interacting with aliens and with humans who were transported from Earth in the distant past.

In the Stargate universe, most Earth mythologies are based on events and personalities of aliens who visited Earth in the past through these gates. Many of the prominent alien characters on the show closely correspond to the gods recorded in Egyptian, Norse, and other mythologies. A race of parasitic aliens, the Goa'uld, are the main antagonists. Other enemies include the Wraith of the Pegasus Galaxy in the series Stargate Atlantis and the Ori, a group of ascended beings that were discovered unwittingly during the ninth season, as well as the Borg-esque Replicators, the nemesis of the Asgard.

Earth's main allies are the Asgard, a race with a startling resemblance to the 'Roswell Grays'; the Tok'ra a group of rebel Goa'uld diametrically opposed to everything Earth's enemies stand for, and rebel Jaffa, former servants of the Goa'uld fighting for their freedom.
