* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': Morathi, leader of the Daughters of Khaine, presents herself as the chosen oracle of Khaine, the shattered elven WarGod, and leads a fanatical cult of Khaine-worshippers. In reality, she only wants to obtain enough PiecesOfGod to usurp Khaine's power and position herself as a true goddess. She succeeds, but in the process turns a lot of her former cultists against her when they realize they were duped, and they've formed a RenegadeSplinterFaction in response.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'': The BigBad, Emperor Belos, is the ruler of the Boiling Isles who claims to speak for [[CrystalDragonJesus the Titan]] (the god of the Boiling Isles whose body [[GiantCorpseWorld makes them up]]), preaching against wild magic in favor of rigid compartmentalizing of the magical arts and eventually instituting a brutal autocracy where all the Covens on the Isles serve him and enforce his will. [[spoiler:In truth, Belos was lying and deliberately turning the people of the Boiling Isles away from the Titan's true teachings, as he's actually a human witch hunter determined to destroy the Isles and kill all the [[MageSpecies witches]] who inhabit them.]]

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII": The Cult of the Absolute is run by ''three'' false prophets, each of whom is subservient to a different god than the one they're currently using. Of note is that they loathe each other, but their gods used to be buddies literal ages ago, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork so they manage to spout the same narrative]]. [[spoiler:Not only is their 'god' a particularly powerful end-form of the Mind Flayers, but they enslaved her. She manages to break free when you interfere, planning to conquer the world using the framework the cult built for her. One ending lets you usurp her and then become the False Prophet who will rule the mortal plane.]]

* ''VideoGame/InterregnumChronicles'': The player character is explicitly called a false prophet, as they make up a prophecy to convince their crew to willfully trek through an eldritch apocalypse in search of a 'Promised Land', [[IDidWhatIHadToDo all because what really awaits them is the chance to save the player character's child from a fate worse than death.]].
