Unusually, it's noted that the steam-powered body isn't her original body, it's a SuperWheelchair her head was installed into after her original body was destroyed, and it was done by a MadScientist who, brilliant as he was, didn't have any role in originally creating Dyna. It's implied that part of her reason for seeking out her lost home in the White-White Sea is to get a replacement body of her original design.

** The TARDIS doing steampunk:
*** The wooden Victorian-style TARDIS console room used in Season 14 of the original show looks pretty steampunk nowadays as well.
*** The Eighth Doctor's ''[[SceneryPorn ridiculously sexy]]'' new steampunk TARDIS [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/gallery/tvmovie/images/1024/dw50.html interior]] from the 1996 [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie TV movie]].
*** The Eleventh Doctor's first console room has some steampunk nods.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E9TheEvilOfTheDaleks "The Evil of the Daleks"]] has a definite steampunk feel. Or would have done, if the 1967 audience had known about steampunk.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E2ToothAndClaw "Tooth and Claw"]]: The Doctor [[DiscussedTrope brings up]] the concept, without naming it, while talking about what the werewolf could do if it managed to gain power over the British Empire in 1879, suggesting that it would accelerate technological development and specifically mentioning steam-powered starships.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace "The Girl in the Fireplace"]] has clockwork robots in GorgeousPeriodDress. Beautiful and NightmareFuel in one package.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E14TheNextDoctor "The Next Doctor"]] (set in 1851) has elements of this, including a [[HumongousMecha hundred-foot high]] steampunk Cyber-King.
** [[Recap/DoctorWho2010CSAChristmasCarol "A Christmas Carol"]] is set on a human colony world with a Victorian era aesthetic, resulting in the expected steampunk trappings.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E11TheCrimsonHorror "The Crimson Horror"]] is set in 1893 Yorkshire, and as a result the villain's technology is very steampunk-looking.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E1DeepBreath "Deep Breath"]], set in 1890s London, has steampunk clockwork cyborgs.
* The short-lived 2013 ''Series/{{Dracula|2013}}'' starring Johnathan Rhys Meyers played around with the concept. In this version, Dracula is a technical genius who is able to provide a renewable source of electricity which would replace oil as a source of power. The fallout from such a device is the driving force for the season along with Dracula's quest for revenge against the Order of the Dragon (that made him a vampire).
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', while not ''strictly'' steampunk, does contain a lot of steampunk themes (mixing 19th century aesthetics with sci-fi elements and storylines) as well as steampunk character types such as the Wrench Wench, and went a long way toward popularizing the genre.
* ''{{Series/Fringe}}'': The episode "Brown Betty" has steampunk and SchizoTech designs throughout the episode. Although the episode was more DieselPunk as a whole.
* ''Lantern City'' takes place in an entirely steampunk parallel world.
* ''Series/{{Legend}}'' had a genius inventor character based on UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla who created all manner of steampunk gear, but the world at large didn't have it.
* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': James Pendrick is a brilliant inventor and an eccentric entrepreneur whose inventions have definitely Steam Punk aesthetics with lots of gold, brass and metallic surfaces embellished with clocks, gauges and measuring instruments. The inventions include an electric carriage, a proto-aeroplane, a gliding suit, a rocket intended to reach outside the atmosphere (carrying a man no less) or a hyper-train called the Pendrick FLASH (FLASH being an acronym for Frictionless Levitated Accelerated Subsurface Hyper-train).
* ''Musica Piccolyno'' is an Creator/{{NHK}} music show short-format series for children and features the adventures of the crew on a steampunk airship travelling a strange world with steampunk hybrid life-forms. Each episode will have the crew introduce and play a song as well as give information about its significance.
* ''Series/TheNevers'': Penance Adair invents machines and gadgets that have steampunk design esthetics.
* ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'': In one episode, Abby goes to a "steampunk bar". But the steampunks are really just {{goth}}s wearing brown, they all act rude [[TheQuincyPunk like punks are expected to act]] and their vocabulary is laced with words borrowed from ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
* The short-lived (six episodes) series ''Series/{{QED}}'' showed an American inventor, played by Sam Waterston, coming to Edwardian Great Britain and having adventures there.
* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'': The Georgia Federation has reverted to this full-stop, converting buses and agricultural machinery to steam power in response to the loss of electricity. Miles notes that their standard of living is substantially higher than that of the Monroe Republic at least partly as a result ("[[Recap/RevolutionS1E14TheNightTheLightsWentOutInGeorgia The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia]]").
* ''Series/TheSecretAdventuresOfJulesVerne'' is a steampunk series on the Sci-Fi Channel set in the [[VictorianLondon Victorian era]].
* ''Series/StargateAtlantis'':
** In one episode, Col. Sheppard and Dr. [=McKay=] have been playing an {{RTS}} game they had found on the station, where they each built up and controlled neighboring countries. At least, they ''thought'' it was a game, until they finds a planet with countries built up exactly like they had specified. Dr. [=McKay=]'s country is fully steampunk, with leather and brass, goggles, steam power and dirigibles.
** While this is probably the only episode to invoke the trope intentionally, many other planets of the week in both ''Atlantis'' and ''Series/StargateSG1'' have cultures that are clearly at an 1890s level, from tech to fashion, though it bears little, if any, relevance to the plot. Many establishing shots of smoke-filled cities with skies full of airships, science labs full of brass tubing and smoked glass. The show's artists/costumers, at least, were clearly fans of the genre.
* ''Series/TinMan'', a re-interpretation of ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', has a distinct steampunk feel to at least the architecture and machinery, with just a tiny bit of cyberpunk thrown in for higher tech purposes. Appropriate to the setting. See "Literature." The Oz books were ''loaded'' with steam-tech.
* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': Captain Jack, captured by Torchwood agents in the 19th century, is interrogated by means of a Patent ElectricTorture Device, with the inventors' faces on the lid.
* ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'' plays with this, especially in terms of aesthetics, although it's a bit closer to DieselPunk in terms of the artifacts being handled (like the Farnsworth). The field agents, however, use fairly standard modern tech aside from the aforementioned Farnsworths[[note]]untraceable wireless video phones with brass casing, black-and-white only though[[/note]] and [[TheParalyzer Tesla guns]]. Although when Helena is a field agent, she prefers her own steampunk equipment.
* ''Series/TheWildWildWest'' is one of the earliest examples of steampunk on television. Practically every other episode featured a mad scientist outfitted with Verne-style tech.

* The ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'' RPG published by Creator/PrivateerPress is a fusion of steampunk and fantasy. It was originally a setting for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 3.0/3.5 edition, before getting its own d6-based system in 2012.
** Also by Privateer Press, the tabletop wargame ''WARMACHINE'' is set in the same world as ''Iron Kingdoms'', and stars 12 foot tall steampunk robots.
* The RolePlayingGame ''TabletopGame/{{Space 1889}}'' (''[[http://www.heliograph.com/space1889/ Space: 1889]]''), as well as the [[http://www.space1889.com/ even obscurer licensed audio dramas]] based on it.
* The RolePlayingGame game ''TabletopGame/MutantChronicles'' (along with its tie-ins, collectible card game ''TabletopGame/DoomTrooper'', battle game ''TabletopGame/WarZone'' and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Chronicles_(film) the 2008 feature film]]), although it takes place somewhere in the [=XXVIIIth=] century, is actually steampunk, as the Mutants and Dark Symmetry (a kind of evil power field) rendered all electronic devices unreliable and therefore practically unusable, so humanity was forced to rely on steam-powered ones. This was averted in later editions of ''War Zone'', where the universe turned more to DieselPunk and Cybertronic remained straight {{cyberpunk}}.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'''s Dwarves and Chaos Dwarves have loads of steampunk contraptions, including a chopper and for one character, body armour which helps him move. The Empire also has a steam-powered ''{{tank|Goodness}}''.
* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' continues the trend. The Kharadron Overlords, an entire faction of SkyPirate dwarves with enormous fleets of {{Magitek}} dirigible skyships and entire flying cities, are some of the most Steampunk-stuffed creations you will ever find.
* The Alchemical ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' are heroes of a clockwork world who are implanted with steam (and other weird materials) powered devices that make them more effective as hero figures.
* The D20 roleplaying game ''TabletopGame/{{Etherscope}}'' is set in a Victorian, steampunk world complete with the usual paraphernalia. The main difference being the existence of the titular 'etherscope' which allows for the creation of computer-like mechanisms, amongst other things...
* While ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is generally a HighFantasy RPG, Gnomes tend to border on, or full-out jump into, steampunk.
** The ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'' setting in particular uses this, where Gnomes even have "rocket ships."
** In the TabletopGame/{{Mystara}} setting, they've got ''biplanes''.
** 3.5 even features several Prestige Classes made for Gnomes which feature them as steampunk or Clockpunk mad scientists.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' invokes this trope, along with {{Magitek}}, but is more magic-based technology than steampunk. Actual technology is rare and often not worth it, due to magic being so readily available and easy to learn.
** Some of the more advanced realms in ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' feature steampunk elements.
** None does more in this regard than ''TabletopGame/DragonMech'', which incorporates AfterTheEnd and AlienInvasion elements with its steam-driven HumongousMecha and [[HollywoodCyborg Steamborgs]]
* ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}}'' 3rd Edition had a ''Steampunk'' sourcebook, which included various steampunk devices, details of Victoriana, and contained ''three'' steampunk settings: Etheria (PlanetaryRomance); Eisen ("conventional" dystopian steampunk) and Qabala (a weird variant, essentially "Golempunk"). This was followed by ''Steam-Tech'', with further gadgets including an automaton detective ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial which was not intended to resemble Mr Holmes of Baker Street in any way]]); there was also ''Screampunk'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin meant to mix steampunk and horror]], and ''GURPS Castle Falkenstein'', adapting the RPG below to GURPS rules. The 4th edition of the game has a developing line of PDF Steampunk sourcebooks which not only provide 4th edition game mechanics for material from the older books, but bring the game's treatment of the genre more into line with 21st century fashion-driven steampunk. It also added more steampunk settings, all of them, like the previous ones, interconnected through the TabletopGame/InfiniteWorlds meta-setting: Britannica-5 (British Empire AlternateHistoryWank where they mastered zero-point energy, thoroughly infiltrated by Centrum) and Tripod (the aftermath of [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds the Martian invasion of Earth]], introduced in ''GURPS Horror'' so you know terrible things are afoot). In GURPS [[TechnologyLevels Tech Level]] terms, steampunk is often considered [=TL5+1=], [=TL5+2=], or [=TL6+1=] -- that is, as far advanced as [=TL6=] or [=TL7=], but ''different''.
* The ''TabletopGame/MageKnight'' "Black Powder Rebels" faction was highly steampunk, including steam golems and a steam tank.
* A Polish RPG now released in English, ''TabletopGame/WolsungSteamPulpFantasy'', is more Steam than Punk, and the authors themselves call it Victorian Fantasy. The setting is something similar to our world on the brink of the [=XXth=] century, but filtered through pulp fiction from the time, with a little bit of classic fantasy and lots of pop culture inspirations.
* ''Airship Pirates'' is an RPG based on the songs of Music/AbneyPark (see Music), with all the steampunkery that implies -- indeed, the world it describes is arguably even more steampunk than the songs, since the band describe themselves as "the only Airship Pirates" which the game understandably... [[AdaptationExpansion changes]].
* ''TabletopGame/UnhallowedMetropolis'' is set in the 22nd century, after a ZombieApocalypse wiped out human civilization around 1900. Humanity has finally regained control of a few areas, and is going back to the last golden age of civilization, resulting in a "Neo-Victorian" culture with many elements of this.
* The French ''Ecryme'' RPG is set in an alien world with strong Victorian-era aesthetics and classical steampunk technology.
* ''TabletopGame/CastleFalkenstein'' is a mishmash of Steampunk and GaslampFantasy; whilst there's plenty of Steampunk style technology around, it's implied it may actually be MagicPoweredPseudoScience, and equally (if not more) prominent are the presence of arcane spellcasters, dragons, and all manner of TheFairFolk.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Victoriana| RPG}}'', an AlternateHistory RPG set near the mid-XIX century, has a definite steampunk element to it.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'' is essentially a CattlePunk WeirdWest hybrid. It handwaves the typical technological limitation of steampunk technology by introduction of 'ghostrock', a kind of coal imbued with spiritual force that can give off tremendous amounts of energy and has other properties very useful to any MadScientist -- it burns hotter and longer than coal, metal forged in a fire made of the stuff is far lighter and stronger than it should be, etc. Also, Manitous (evil spirits) whisper ideas for technology literally stolen from the future into the minds of {{Mad Scientist}}s, who then attempt to recreate their visions with the technology they have available.
* In ''TabletopGame/GeniusTheTransgression'' steampunk is the latest fashion fad among mad scientists. Humorously the actual Victorian mad scientists didn't create much in the steampunk style but many of them did use Baroque styles based on idealized 17th century fashions (which was also not actually used by 17th century mad scientists).
* From Ravnica, in TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering, the Izzet often invoke this aesthetic, but what they do is pure {{Magitek}} of a DungeonPunk "industrialized magic" variety.
* In ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' the Sons of Ether, the Magick tradition who tend the sphere of matter, have a largely steampunk aesthetic mixed with RaygunGothic.
* One of the precursor races in ''TabletopGame/{{The Splinter}}'' designed technology to run on steam because they just enjoyed the aesthetic. Because of this, steam punk settings and tech can often be found in The Realm.
* ''TabletopGame/DystopianWars'' which features steam powered tanks, massive airships, huge landships, and HumongousMecha.
* The FATE ''Jadepunk'' setting is Wuxia-toned steampunk that closely resembles the Asian-inspired DieselPunk of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', only minus the diesel. The book makes it clear several times that the core idea the writers worked to was to play up the 'punk' side and have the PC's go out to fight the corrupt authorities of Kausao City.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Tephra}}'' is a customizable steampunk RPG created by ''[[http://www.crackedmonocle.com/ Cracked Monocle]]''. Set in a unique world populated by elves, satyrs, and gnomes, it utilizes a single twelve-sided die.

* The ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'' RPG published by Creator/PrivateerPress is a fusion of steampunk and fantasy. It was originally a setting for ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 3.0/3.5 edition, before getting its own d6-based system in 2012.
** Also by Privateer Press, the tabletop wargame ''WARMACHINE'' is set in the same world as ''Iron Kingdoms'', and stars 12 foot tall steampunk robots.
* The RolePlayingGame ''TabletopGame/{{Space 1889}}'' (''[[http://www.heliograph.com/space1889/ Space: 1889]]''), as well as the [[http://www.space1889.com/ even obscurer licensed audio dramas]] based on it.
* The RolePlayingGame game ''TabletopGame/MutantChronicles'' (along with its tie-ins, collectible card game ''TabletopGame/DoomTrooper'', battle game ''TabletopGame/WarZone'' and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_Chronicles_(film) the 2008 feature film]]), although it takes place somewhere in the [=XXVIIIth=] century, is actually steampunk, as the Mutants and Dark Symmetry (a kind of evil power field) rendered all electronic devices unreliable and therefore practically unusable, so humanity was forced to rely on steam-powered ones. This was averted in later editions of ''War Zone'', where the universe turned more to DieselPunk and Cybertronic remained straight {{cyberpunk}}.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'''s Dwarves and Chaos Dwarves have loads of steampunk contraptions, including a chopper and for one character, body armour which helps him move. The Empire also has a steam-powered ''{{tank|Goodness}}''.
* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' continues the trend. The Kharadron Overlords, an entire faction of SkyPirate dwarves with enormous fleets of {{Magitek}} dirigible skyships and entire flying cities, are some of the most Steampunk-stuffed creations you will ever find.
* The Alchemical ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' are heroes of a clockwork world who are implanted with steam (and other weird materials) powered devices that make them more effective as hero figures.
* The D20 roleplaying game ''TabletopGame/{{Etherscope}}'' is set in a Victorian, steampunk world complete with the usual paraphernalia. The main difference being the existence of the titular 'etherscope' which allows for the creation of computer-like mechanisms, amongst other things...
* While ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is generally a HighFantasy RPG, Gnomes tend to border on, or full-out jump into, steampunk.
** The ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'' setting in particular uses this, where Gnomes even have "rocket ships."
** In the TabletopGame/{{Mystara}} setting, they've got ''biplanes''.
** 3.5 even features several Prestige Classes made for Gnomes which feature them as steampunk or Clockpunk mad scientists.
** ''TabletopGame/{{Eberron}}'' invokes this trope, along with {{Magitek}}, but is more magic-based technology than steampunk. Actual technology is rare and often not worth it, due to magic being so readily available and easy to learn.
** Some of the more advanced realms in ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' feature steampunk elements.
** None does more in this regard than ''TabletopGame/DragonMech'', which incorporates AfterTheEnd and AlienInvasion elements with its steam-driven HumongousMecha and [[HollywoodCyborg Steamborgs]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfMarkTwain'', in which the titular Twain attempts to chase Halley's Comet through outer space in a steampunk airship. Then it gets weird.
* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' is filled with steampunk style mechanical oddities such as airships, submarines, massive wind and water generators and the venerable quick car. All of these machines are operated without electricity.
* The villain Mechanicles' shtick in ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries''. Improbable-to-impossible mechanical creations of all shapes and sizes. However, they are usually ClockPunk rather than steam-based. Brownie points for earning a mention on the ClockKing page. His plans are often just as elaborate as his machines, and they rely almost entirely on things running according to schedule.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': The general aesthetics and technology level of the series, with Hextech as the setting's take on {{Magitek}}. Fashions are reminiscent of those from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Airships are a common mode of transport, cars are primitive, and personal weapons are usually knives or fairly standard (if cool-looking) firearms. Most tech is purely mechanical and analog, with electronics existing as a rarity at best.
* ''[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]'':
** In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', the Fire Nation boasts Industrial-Age innovations, such as trains and tanks powered by coal, steam, and firebending. Most of these were commissioned by extorting an expatriate Earth Kingdom inventor and leader of refugee group in now converted Northern Air Temple, the Mechanist, who dwells within a sanctuary maintained by steam-operated mechanisms and whose prize invention is a large, sophisticated steam-powered telescope. This is unsurprising, since Ghibli's works were one of the things that influenced ''Avatar'''s creators. The show got really steampunky real quick in season two, where a colossal drilling machine was introduced. Then in the third there were ''jet skis'', and Fire Nation engineers invented ''zeppelins'' by reverse-engineering a previously introduced hot-air balloon created by Earth Kingdom inventor. Indeed, the original concept set the series in a futuristic environment, but the idea was scrapped in favor of an ancient feel; nonetheless, some technology was preserved during the change in setting. What makes the Fire Nation's steampunk technology particularly notable is that, unlike the more {{Magitek}} technology of the other nations, much/most of it doesn't need any bending to operate.
** SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' initially takes place in Republic City, described as a "steampunk metropolis" on the official website and set in its world's equivalent of TheRoaringTwenties. Technology seen includes more (and more advanced) zeppelins, cameras, cars, radios, and electronic speakers. However, aside from the zeppelins, most of the technology shown is actually not much different from the tech of the real-life 1920's, to the point where ''Korra'' actually slots better into the category of DieselPunk. That said, we do get steam(?)-powered battle mechs later in the series.
* The ''[[WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble Avengers: Black Panther's Quest]]'' episode "Mask of the Panther" features an ancient Wakandan vessel with brass controls, a steam powered automaton crew, and a neural interface. In keeping with their advanced tech, it seems Wakanda was steampunk before the rest of the world was regular Age of Steam.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Showdown", Ra's al Ghul describes his attempt to destroy the transcontinental railroad and bomb Washington back in the 1880s with an advanced war dirigible, complete with cannons, turrets and gatling guns. Unfortunately, his son ruins it by getting Jonah Hex involved.
* The GrandFinale of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' opens with a short of John Wilkes Booth trying to kill Lincoln- and he fails, thanks to a space-time-hopping Franchise/{{Batman}}. Seconds later, Booth whips out brass armor with steam-powered [[MoreDakka gattling gun arms.]] This is an [[AlternateHistory alternate universe]] with a [[WhatIf different timeline]], as Batman subtly mentions on his way back home at the end of the short- after pounding Booth into submission, with a little help from Honest Abe himself.
%%Explain * Yet another rejected Nickelodeon pilot, ''WesternAnimation/ConstantPayne'', was steampunk mixed with some futuristic elements.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'', a steam-powered airship crashes in Dreamland, and the pilot, who hails from a place called Steamland, is taken prisoner. Bean is the only person to believe him, and helps him escape in exchange for taking her with him to see the marvels of "stience" as she calls it.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheModifyers'' is set in an unnamed Victorian-esque city, which features scads of clockwork gadgetry and steampowered transports -- from trains, to zeppelins.

* While there is a great deal of SchizoTech running amok, ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has a few elements of this.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheMysteriousGeographicExplorationsOfJasperMorello'' is an Australian short film about a troubled airship navigator and a dangerous expedition he takes part in. The setting has steam and mechanical zeppelins, and the entire film is animated as though it were shadow puppets and a light box. It was nominated for many awards (including an Academy Award) due to the unique silhouette art-style and the inventive storyline.

* ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'':
** The series ''Defoe'' and ''The Red Seas'' contain elements of this style, typically leaning towards the clockpunk variant, given the Restoration and Age of Piracy settings, respectively. Defoe actually include primitive automatons explicitly referred to as "Clock Punks", presumably in reference to the term.
** The ''ComicBook/NemesisTheWarlock'' storyline "The Gothic Empire" featured a far-future empire which modeled its technology with a heavy steampunk aesthetic. We are introduced to a rebel faction known as the "Young Goths," who, inspired by mid-20th century television broadcasts, wish to remodel their culture along dieselpunk lines.
* Creator/BryanTalbot wrote and drew ''[[ComicBook/LutherArkwright The Adventures of Luther Arkwright]]'' in 1978, proving that steampunk is OlderThanTheyThink. Also the sequel ''Heart of Empire'', and a separate graphic novel called ''ComicBook/{{Grandville}}'' featuring a steampunk world inhabited by [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals anthropomorphic animals]].

* ''Creator/AntarcticPress'' really went full throttle with this as a number of their comics in TheNewTens focus on steampunk including ''ComicBook/SteamWars'', ''Steampunk Fairy Tales'' (which has included Cinderella, Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood, the Snow Queen and a LighterAndSofter version of The Little Match Girl), and ''Steam Busters'' to name a few.
* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': Dame Progress, an early twentieth century hero of Astro City, fights crime using a steam-powered flight harness and a steam-powered mecha.
* ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' has a steampunk brainwashed cyborg supersoldier, and ''more'' bizarrely a moving pyramid with steam powered robot mummies that is operated by a ''steam-based mechanical computer''.
* The second part of ''ComicBook/ElEternauta'', a long time classic Argentine comic, features Humongous Steam-Propelled Tanks made of timber. Quite cool and original, considering it was released in 1976.

* ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'':
** The series ''Defoe'' and ''The Red Seas'' contain elements of this style, typically leaning towards the clockpunk variant, given the Restoration and Age of Piracy settings, respectively. Defoe actually include primitive automatons explicitly referred to as "Clock Punks", presumably in reference to the term.
** The ''ComicBook/NemesisTheWarlock'' storyline "The Gothic Empire" featured a far-future empire which modeled its technology with a heavy steampunk aesthetic. We are introduced to a rebel faction known as the "Young Goths," who, inspired by mid-20th century television broadcasts, wish to remodel their culture along dieselpunk lines.
* Creator/BryanTalbot wrote and drew ''[[ComicBook/LutherArkwright The Adventures of Luther Arkwright]]'' in 1978, proving that steampunk is OlderThanTheyThink. Also the sequel ''Heart of Empire'', and a separate graphic novel called ''ComicBook/{{Grandville}}'' featuring a steampunk world inhabited by [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals anthropomorphic animals]].
* ''Comicbook/TheAmazingScrewOnHead'' and its AnimatedAdaptation.
* ''Creator/AntarcticPress'' really went full throttle with this as a number of their comics in TheNewTens focus on steampunk including ''ComicBook/SteamWars'', ''Steampunk Fairy Tales'' (which has included Cinderella, Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood, the Snow Queen and a LighterAndSofter version of The Little Match Girl), and ''Steam Busters'' to name a few.
* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': Dame Progress, an early twentieth century hero of Astro City, fights crime using a steam-powered flight harness and a steam-powered mecha.
* ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' has a steampunk brainwashed cyborg supersoldier, and ''more'' bizarrely a moving pyramid with steam powered robot mummies that is operated by a ''steam-based mechanical computer''.
* The second part of ''ComicBook/ElEternauta'', a long time classic Argentine comic, features Humongous Steam-Propelled Tanks made of timber. Quite cool and original, considering it was released in 1976.
* In February 2014, DC Comics released 20 books with [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140111210412/http://www.nerdist.com/2014/01/dc-comics-goes-steampunk-this-february-with-20-killer-covers/ steampunk alternate covers]]. Some of them are more steampunk than others. (The Green Lanterns in ''ruffs'' seem to be about 300 years out...)
* ''ComicBook/TheFiveFistsOfScience'' depicts Creator/MarkTwain and UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla as action heroes... and gives UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison an HistoricalVillainUpgrade.
* The ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' miniseries ''Gates of Gotham'' features the Architect, a MadBomber in steampunk PoweredArmor. Red Robin even calls it "steam-punk-ish."
* There is a 1989 AlternateUniverse comic of Franchise/{{Batman}}, titled ''Gotham by Gaslight'', in which the world's greatest detective has to do battle with Jack the Ripper. While it's mostly a straight period piece, the sequel is ''very'' steampunky, with [[ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld dirigibles]], [[RobotBuddy automatons]], and {{Death Ray}}s.
** Another Creator/DCComics {{Elseworld}}, ''[[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]: Age of Wonders'' imagines what might have happened if UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla had worked with all DC's {{Omnidisciplinary Scientist}}s: [[Franchise/TheFlash Barry Allen]], [[Comicbook/{{Starman}} Ted Knight]], [[ComicBook/TheAtom Ray Palmer]] ... and ComicBook/LexLuthor.
* ''ComicBook/LadyMechanika'' is set in a steampunk version of England circa 1900. The heroine is steampunk cyborg detective.
* ''Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure'' is a Creator/DynamiteComics {{Elseworld}} with steampunk versions of assorted Dynamite properties: Comicbook/RedSonja, ComicBook/TheGreenHornet, [[ComicBook/TheLastPhantom The Phantom]], Comicbook/{{Vampirella}}, [[Creator/JackKirby Captain Victory, Silver Star]], Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan, Franchise/{{Zorro}} and [[ComicBook/FlashGordonZeitgeist Flash Gordon]]. Dynamite followed this up with ''[[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 Battlestar Galactica]] 1880''.
* In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast1992'', the librarian comes up with the idea of building a hot air balloon to carry Link into Hyrule Castle. The balloon uses a ramshackle gadget to produce helium.
* The first two volumes of Creator/AlanMoore and Kevin O'Neil's ''ComicBook/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen''. (Later volumes are set in the 20th century).
** Lampshades in volume IV which puts Mina in a comic strip parodying ''[[ComicBook/TheBeano Minnie The Minx]]''. Where she's "leading a gang of Victorian literary characters against arch-fiends and martians while being mistaken for steampunk!".
* ''ComicBook/{{Marvel 1602}}'' features Lord Iron, a steampunk version of ComicBook/IronMan in an otherwise ClockPunk world. Because Tony is ''just that good''.

* ''Manga/TheCaseStudyOfVanitas'' is a steampunk vampire fantasy set in nineteenth-century Paris.
* Although the tech is not the main focus of the series, ''Manga/DGrayMan'' happens to have a relatively good Science Division where everyone there operates by multiple flat screen television and massive steel plants. In the Victorian Era! And the chief of the Science Division creates enormous robots on a seemingly daily basis.
* A majority of ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' is set around a wind machine called the 400 Rabbits.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' combines steampunk and DieselPunk and adds a healthy dose of {{Magitek}}.
* ''Anime/LastExile'' is a mixture of this and DieselPunk, with the Guild leaning more to CrystalSpiresAndTogas.
* A number of works by Creator/MohiroKitoh are steampunk, though with a [[DarkerAndEdgier greater emphasis on the "punk" aspect]]. These include the short story collection ''Manga/WingsOfVendemiaire'' and his currently-running series ''Manga/FutagoNoTeikoku''.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' is potentially the best known example in anime, being loosely inspired by Creator/JulesVerne's ''"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"''. Everything from the setting (1889 France), characters and costume designs, to oceanic travel aboard [[AppliedPhlebotinum phlebotinum powered]] submarines, and ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld, adheres to a 'Golden Age' aesthetic.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'' the Revolutionary Army seem to have a general Steampunk theme. They have steam ships, 19th century weapons, and British Navy-esque uniforms to counteract the more primitive pirates with their Devil Fruit abilities.
* Creator/OsamuTezuka is one of the founders of modern steampunk, with works such as Metropolis in the 1950s and '60s.
* ''Anime/PrincessPrincipal'': With Creator/HGWells Cavorite anti-gravity tech, pollution-filled London filled with factories, Dickensian poverty, and suave spy action, This is a Steampunk for TheNewTens.
* The animated adaptations of the ''VideoGame/SakuraTaisen'' franchise are full of steam powered mechs, beautiful young girls, and cherry blossoms fighting against hordes of mechanized demons.
* ''Anime/SamuraiSeven'' is a FeudalFuture where giant steam-powered robots, spaceships (!), and SchizoTech devices exist despite the majority of people living like Medieval peasants. The samurai have CharlesAtlasSuperpower abilities that put them roughly on par with Jedi and it all evens out.
* It's hard not draw comparisons between ''Anime/SecretOfCeruleanSand'' and ''The Secret of Blue Water'', due to [[SerialNumbersFiledOff the sheer number of similarities]], including the titles of both series. Likewise, each is based off a work of Jules Verne[[note]]''Secret of Cerulean Sand'' is loosely based on both ''"Facing the Flag"'' and ''"City in the Sahara"''[[/note]] and has a pervasive steampunk aesthetic. The key differences being, that ''Cerulean Sand'' is set in London and [[SandIsWater the desert is presented as if it were an ocean.]]
* The version of Professor Moriarty from ''Anime/SherlockHound'' uses a variety of steam-powered contraptions. Some of them are fairly reasonable (a particularly large automobile, a steam-powered press for minting counterfeit coins), but others fall squarely into this (an airplane modeled on a Pterosaur or an amphibious paddle-boat with robotic arms).
* The feature-length {{anime}} ''Anime/{{Steamboy}}'' is required watching for any steampunk aficionado.
* ''Manga/SteamDetectives''. Steam-powered cars, robots, etc, set against the backdrop of a city constantly fogged up; with villains using the dense clouds of steam as cover for their nefarious deeds.

His episodes revolve around his attempts to steal the hero's RobotBuddy ''Goriki''.
* Creator/StudioGhibli films set in the future tend to have this aesthetic, although the 'punk' is often replaced or at least combined with environmental concerns. In particular, Creator/HayaoMiyazaki is incredibly fond of ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld.
** ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' was a watershed for Japanese Steampunk, with the designs of the airships and the [[http://neatorama.cachefly.net/images/2007-08/laputa-robot-ghibli-museum.jpg robot]] becoming staples of the genre.
** For other instances: The film based on ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle'', ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' (which tends to be more like SchizoTech) and some bits of ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'' and ''Anime/PrincessMononoke''.
* The ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' anime has this sort of aesthetic mixed with SpaceWestern. This is due to the fact it is a planet settled by human colonists despite the fact it's one big desert with minimal resources. As a result, it has a lot of SchizoTech and people having reverted back to 19th century attitudes as well as dress despite all manner of supertech.

* ''Manga/TheCaseStudyOfVanitas'' is a steampunk vampire fantasy set in nineteenth-century Paris.
* Although the tech is not the main focus of the series, ''Manga/DGrayMan'' happens to have a relatively good Science Division where everyone there operates by multiple flat screen television and massive steel plants. In the Victorian Era! And the chief of the Science Division creates enormous robots on a seemingly daily basis.
* A majority of ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' is set around a wind machine called the 400 Rabbits.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' combines steampunk and DieselPunk and adds a healthy dose of {{Magitek}}.
* ''Anime/LastExile'' is a mixture of this and DieselPunk, with the Guild leaning more to CrystalSpiresAndTogas.
* A number of works by Creator/MohiroKitoh are steampunk, though with a [[DarkerAndEdgier greater emphasis on the "punk" aspect]]. These include the short story collection ''Manga/WingsOfVendemiaire'' and his currently-running series ''Manga/FutagoNoTeikoku''.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' is potentially the best known example in anime, being loosely inspired by Creator/JulesVerne's ''"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"''. Everything from the setting (1889 France), characters and costume designs, to oceanic travel aboard [[AppliedPhlebotinum phlebotinum powered]] submarines, and ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld, adheres to a 'Golden Age' aesthetic.
* In ''Manga/OnePiece'' the Revolutionary Army seem to have a general Steampunk theme. They have steam ships, 19th century weapons, and British Navy-esque uniforms to counteract the more primitive pirates with their Devil Fruit abilities.
* Creator/OsamuTezuka is one of the founders of modern steampunk, with works such as Metropolis in the 1950s and '60s.
* ''Anime/PrincessPrincipal'': With Creator/HGWells Cavorite anti-gravity tech, pollution-filled London filled with factories, Dickensian poverty, and suave spy action, This is a Steampunk for TheNewTens.
* The animated adaptations of the ''VideoGame/SakuraTaisen'' franchise are full of steam powered mechs, beautiful young girls, and cherry blossoms fighting against hordes of mechanized demons.
* ''Anime/SamuraiSeven'' is a FeudalFuture where giant steam-powered robots, spaceships (!), and SchizoTech devices exist despite the majority of people living like Medieval peasants. The samurai have CharlesAtlasSuperpower abilities that put them roughly on par with Jedi and it all evens out.
* It's hard not draw comparisons between ''Anime/SecretOfCeruleanSand'' and ''The Secret of Blue Water'', due to [[SerialNumbersFiledOff the sheer number of similarities]], including the titles of both series. Likewise, each is based off a work of Jules Verne[[note]]''Secret of Cerulean Sand'' is loosely based on both ''"Facing the Flag"'' and ''"City in the Sahara"''[[/note]] and has a pervasive steampunk aesthetic. The key differences being, that ''Cerulean Sand'' is set in London and [[SandIsWater the desert is presented as if it were an ocean.]]
* The version of Professor Moriarty from ''Anime/SherlockHound'' uses a variety of steam-powered contraptions. Some of them are fairly reasonable (a particularly large automobile, a steam-powered press for minting counterfeit coins), but others fall squarely into this (an airplane modeled on a Pterosaur or an amphibious paddle-boat with robotic arms).
* The feature-length {{anime}} ''Anime/{{Steamboy}}'' is required watching for any steampunk aficionado.
* ''Manga/SteamDetectives''. Steam-powered cars, robots, etc, set against the backdrop of a city constantly fogged up; with villains using the dense clouds of steam as cover for their nefarious deeds. [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Machine Baron]]'s motivation is collecting at least one of each kind of steam-powered robot. His episodes revolve around his attempts to steal the hero's RobotBuddy ''Goriki''.
