In the science fiction television show Stargate SG-1, the System Lords are the main leaders of the Goa'uld, the dominant and evil alien race of the Galaxy. As the title implies, for a Goa'uld to qualify as a System Lord they must be extremely powerful and must control several star systems. While there are tens of thousands of Goa'uld ruling across the galaxy, only dozens hold the rank of System Lord. Collectively, the Goa'uld use a system of Stargates, devices that allow instantaneous travel between any two points, to keep large collections of planets all within their grasp.

The System Lords rarely trust each other, and very frequently battle amongst themselves. The Tok'ra - a splinter race decended from a Goa'uld queen who opposed the Goa'uld ways - usually try to keep the System Lords balanced so that no single System Lord can completely overpower the others.
