* ''VideoGame/OpusMagnum'', a game about Alchemical Engineering, [[DefiedTrope defies]] this in gameplay, with many of the items you're tasked with making fitting in line with the goals of real-life alchemists. It's also [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in a piece of bonus dialog found in the settings menu.

* ''Literature/SzamankaOdUmarlakow'': Alchemy is mentioned as one of the divisions of magic. It takes a backseat to plot's demon-hunting adventures, though.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': In ''It's Magic, Charlie Brown'', the book of magic that Snoopy finds (at the public library, no less) has a chapter on alchemy, and he wears a wizard's outfit while studying it... but only manages to blow up his lab doing so.

* ''Literature/EmpireOfTheVampire'': Though alchemy is also said to exist as a separate discipline, chymistrie is the art which the Silversaints use to concoct some of their tools, such as bombs, ointments, poisons, and of course, ''sanctus''. It is explictly described as "something between alchemy, witchery and lunacy."

* ''Literature/FlyingDutch'': Though alchemy is also said to exist as a separate discipline, chymistrie is the art which the Silversaints use to concoct some of their tools, such as bombs, ointments, poisons, and of course, sanctus.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E24LongLiveWalterJameson Long Live Walter Jameson]]", the title character became immortal after submitting to the experiments of an alchemist 2,000 years earlier.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "The Little People of Killany Woods", it is MagicByAnyOtherName. The LittleGreenMen give Liam O'Shaughnessy triangular gold pieces to buy supplies with which they can repair their damaged ship. He tells O'Dell that the gold will not last in the hands of a sinner, which he passes along to Mike Mulvaney. The gold piece that Mulvaney later forces Liam to give him turns to lead soon afterwards.

* ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'': This trope is a staple of the franchise. Interestingly, however, it's treated more like a scientific pursuit in the "original series" of five games, as there are schools and structured study of alchemy throughout, and a significant part of ''Atelier Elie'''s alchemy system is experimenting to make entirely new items.

* Kamidori Alchemy Meister: "Alchemy" seems to be a catch-all term for local technology. Most of the known results qualify as magical items.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsOfDrakkenheim'' features the apothecary class, who practices a mixture of medicine and alchemy and is capable of using it to achieve fantastical effects like curing (or [[PlagueMaster inflicting) diseases, creating explosions and acid, healing wounds, exorcising spirits and reanimating the dead.

* ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': During Creator/GrantMorrison's run, the Negative Man merges with his (female) therapist and became Rebis, the alchemical marriage of man and female. It then finds immortality in a tree on the moon. [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs This is Grant Morrison we're talking about, people]].

** ''Anime/FatePrototype'': In ''Fragments of Sky Silver'', the Caster of the story turns out to be Paracelsus, the father of modern alchemy. Berserker, on the other hand, is Dr. Jekyll, who created his exixir with alchemy that allows him to turn into Mr. Hyde.

* ''Website/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids'': Master Mandragora has all the trappings of a wizard, and is able to use alchemy to achieve such things as to bring half-dead monsters back to life, although his alchemy still seems fundamentally rooted in real-life alchemy, specifically in the associations of various concepts with specific metals. (Being a robot, he ought to know.)
