In the Dungeons & Dragons
fantasy role-playing game, gnomes are a humanoid race, and are one of the core races available for play as player characters. They are closely related to dwarves, but are more tolerant of other races and of magic, and are skilled with machines and illusions. The sub-races of gnomes include the overground rock gnomes(the common gnome thought of most settings), wild chaos gnomes, sneaky wisper gnomes, forest gnomes, and evil size-changing spriggans, as well as the svirfneblin (deep gnomes) of the Underdark. In the Forgotten Realms, gnomes are also known as the "Forgotten Folk".

In Dungeons and Dragons, Gnomes have an intricate society based on their love of all kinds of arts, pranks, and their long lives. Gnomes love indulgence, and they make most celebrations on a grander scale. Gnome weddings last for a week, even though gnomes dont view love the same way humans do. If love begins to go wrong between a couple they may break up, believing it was a prank by Garl Glittergold. Their society is based on art; all gnomes must take up some form of art whether music, painting, cooking, building, or any other form that is considered creative by the time they come of age.

Throughout D&D history, spellcaster gnomes were either exclusively illusionists or had illusionists as their favored class. However, in Dungeons & Dragons v.3.5, gnomes' favored class has been changed to bard. In D&D v.3.5, gnomes are inventors and alchemists who love pranks and excel at engineering. The tinker gnomes of Dragonlance
are mechanically skilled, though their devices are quite prone to backfiring.

In the core Dungeons & Dragons cosmology, the primary gnome deity is Garl Glittergold. In many campaign settings, the gnome pantheon also consists of Baervan Wildwanderer, Baravar Cloakshadow, Flandal Steelskin, Gaerdal Ironhand, Nebelun, Segojan Earthcaller, and Urdlen.
