* "VideoGame/StarryKnight": Is a simple sidescrolling action game who's title is the same as the titular painting. Ironically while the game is partly a biography about Van Gogh, and his paintings are featured as locations you fight the bosses in (such as ''Cafe Terrace at Night'' and ''Wheatfield with Crows''), Starry Night itself oddly does not.

-->'''Vincent:''' Look at
the starscape is transformed sky. It's not dark and black and without character. The black is, in fact, deep blue. And over there: lighter blue and blowing through the blues and blackness the winds swirling through the air and then shining, burning, bursting through: the stars! ''[the sky gradually transforms into ''The van Gogh's painting Starry Night''.Night]'' And you see how they roar their light. [[TheWorldIsJustAwesome Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.]]

Its inclusion makes sense because she attacks [[spoiler:the first timeline's Homura]], who is plagued with suicidal thoughts.

* ''Series/The100'': The survivors living in Mount Weather have a store room of classic art, including some of Van Gogh's. They end up putting "The Starry Night" in Clarke's cell with her, as a PetTheDog moment.
* ''Series/{{Decoy}}'': The episode "Shadow of Van Gogh" features a StarvingArtist who's so obsessed with Van Gogh that he grows a beard to look more like him, paints a near-exact replica of "The Starry Night," and even signs one of his own paintings "Vincent." Another character tells a story of him showing up to a party with a bandage wrapped around his head, holding a very realistic papier-mâché ear.

* ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'': Aliens apparently highly value his work, too, as one episode has an alien art fence commissioning a theft of "The Starry Night".

[[AC:Roleplays]]
* ''Roleplay/NoPixel'': The "Starry Night" changes hands quite often. During one situation in 2019, it gets stolen from the FBI by Davey, Jobie, Bryce, and Jeevas [[LeeroyJenkins running in with guns drawn]]. Between the element of surprise and the agents [[PoliceAreUseless being complete morons]], it works. Holding onto the painting becomes a burden for Davey later on since the majority of Los Santos' underworld wants their hands on it.

[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/FallGuys'': One of the color palettes obtainable from the Season 3 Legacy pass was based on and named after Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night.
* ''Videogame/FateGrandOrder'': A [[HistoricalGenderFlip gender-flipped Van Gogh]] paints "The Starry Night" inspired by an [[EldritchAbomination Outer God]]. The same who [[spoiler:created her]].
