STellar Chaos is an online multiplayer strategy door game for Atari ST bulletin board systems.

Written in GFA Basic by Roger M. Thomas, and distributed as a compiled executable, it was one of the few Atari online games available to BBS operators in the early 1990s. It was available up to version 1.52 in a shareware version with limited functionality, or in a registered version which unlocked all of the game features.

Its ability to output ANSI art character graphics was unique among Atari ST door games and it could handle a user definable number of online game participants.

It was released into the public domain in 1995.
