* In ''Film/DraculaVsFrankenstwin'', Count Dracula is able to hypnotise people by staring into their eyes.

* In ''{{ComicBook/Violine}}'', Violine's (and presumably, her father's) eyes sometimes have this effect on people. In the climax, [[spoiler: Marushka]] is revealed to have these, along with actual hypnotic powers.

* One of ''[[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit's]]'' most notable traits from his mutation are his red irises on black sclerae. One of his lesser known mutant powers is a hypnotic charm from eye contact that makes people more compliant to him. It's less effective if the target knows about it.
* X-Men villain Sauron is a were-pterodactyl that's also an energy vampire, complete with hypnotic eye contact.

* Kurumu from ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' seduces the main character with these (JustifiedTrope: she's a {{succubus}}), though she calls the ability "{{Charm|Person}}." She only really uses it in [[ItOnlyWorksOnce one episode]], though, after her [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]].

* [[ComicBook/SecretInvasion The]] [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Skrulls]] have this ability as well.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rupert}}'': The Great Mephisto has this ability in his epynomous powers.

* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': Tilly Green can hypnotize others by staring into their eyes long enough. She tried this on a woman in "Sellouts", and it works... [[EyeScream until the two touch eyeballs]], snapping her out of it.

* Super Bike in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. has a pair that he uses on Timmy. It works... until he tries to imply that his father doesn't love him.

-->'''Iris: '''"By Osiris and by Apis, look in my eyes. You have turned into a wild boar. Yes! A wiiillld boooaaarrr..."
* In the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes short "Mexican Boarders", Slowpoke Rodriguez, the Slowest Mouse in all Mexico, uses Hypnotic Eyes to zap Sylvester into becoming his obedient slave, thus showing how he's been able to survive.
--> '''Slowpoke:''' Slowpoke may be pretty slow downstairs in the feets but is pretty fast upstairs in the ''cabeza''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGodzillaPowerHour'' features a bipedal cobra-monster named "''Axor''", one of his superpowers is to hypnotize its victims by firing a grey laser from his eyes at the victim's eyes as well. He uses this on the Calico Crew (minus Godzooky) and multiple humans [[EvilOverlord to serve him]], [[CerebusSyndrome having already forced them to build him his own castle]]. [[spoiler: Strangely enough, not only does his hypnosis [[AwesomeButImpractical not work on those who are sick]], but it also winds up [[HoistByHisOwnPetard being his own undoing]].]]
* Sunil from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' has these. He uses them on the Biskit Twins in the episode "Gailbreak!".

* The Hypnobrai Tribe from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' lure their victims into being hypnotised by rattling their tails and staring their victims straight in the eye. They can also plant post-hypnotic commands in which the victim acts as a sleeper agent, seeing through their eyes and enforcing their control. Cole unfortunately had to find this out the hard way.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' Darwin once used these to hypnotize Gumball into remembering a repressed memory. While this succeeds, Gumball starts flashing back to past lives, culminating in him becoming a hypnotist, and he uses these to start hypnotizing Darwin. Before they’re snapped of it, Gumball has made Darwin allergic to the word cheese and fluent in French.

* Psychokinetics in ''TabletopGame/PsionicsTheNextStageInHumanEvolution'' can Push people into seeing things (or not seeing things) and following commands, but they have to make eye contact with them first.
* In ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade/ TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'', this is any vampire with the Dominate discipline, which generally requires that the user make eye contact with the target to implant suggestions.
** Also [[TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness oWoD]] Setites with Serpentis 1, Eyes of the Serpent, could freeze someone in place by making eye contact.
* In ''TabletopGame/{{Necromunda}}'' some of the Adepts who lead [[ApocalypseCult Genestealer Cult]] gangs in the 3rd Edition of the rules[[note]]released in ''Magazine/WhiteDwarf''[[/note]] share the hypnotic gaze exhibited by their Purestrain Genestealers progenitors, and are able to dominate the mind of weak-willed enemies with nothing more than a piercing stare. This is represented in-game by the 'Hypnosis' Adept Ability that allows the Adept to stop an attack by an opponent before they can make it.

* [[EvilChancellor Jafar]] uses a cobra-headed cane to hypnotize the Sultan in ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' into obeying his orders.

* 'Literature/ArtemisFowl'': All fairies can use a hypnotic power called mesmer by prolonged eye contact, which makes the victim happy, docile and compliant to the fairy's orders. [[spoiler:Artemis figures out that it can be countered by wearing mirrored contact lenses, but pretends to be mesmerized in order to avoid the fairies finding his contingency plan against the FakeMemories they're going to implant.]]
