Commands & Colors: Ancients is a board wargame designed by Richard Borg, Pat Kurivial, and Roy Grider, and published by GMT Games in 2006. It is based on Borg's Command & Colors system using some elements similar to his other games such as Memoir '44 and Battle Cry designed to simulate the "fog of war" and uncertainty encountered on real battlefields.

Commands & Colors: Ancients focuses on the historic period of 3000 BC - 400 AD.
