* ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves'': The opening credits feature parts of the tapestry. The film is set in the 12th century, during the [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Third Crusade]] over 120 years after 1066. It's akin to showing images from UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution in the opening to a movie about UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar. Also, an example of TheArtifact as the Norman-Saxon conflict made famous by Creator/WalterScott plays no part in this Robin Hood film.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jrllECbLfA second opening credits sequence]] for the first season of the ''Manga/VinlandSaga'' anime includes scenes reminiscent of the tapestry. As this portion of the season takes place about 50 years before the Battle of Hastings and involves the invasion and conquest of England (albeit by the Danish under Sweyn Forkbeard rather than the Normans under William the Conquerer), it's more appropriate than many pop culture examples.

[[AC:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/TheVikings'': The opening's art style deliberately mimics the tapestry and even borrows some bits of it (the shipbuilders most notably) despite the film being set in UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge, 199 years before 1066.
* ''Film/ElCid'': Jimena (Creator/SophiaLoren) is seen embroidering something that looks very much like a Bayeux Tapestry panel. It's unlikely that she would imitate Norman embroidery artists, but the film's time period is the closest out of all the examples on this page (just over 30 years after 1066).
* ''Film/BedknobsAndBroomsticks'': The opening's art style is clearly based on the tapestry and depicts a number of things happening in the film, from witch-in-training Eglantine Price flying on a broom to [[UsefulNotes/NazisWithGnarlyWeapons Wehrmacht soldiers]] landing in England from a submarine, since the film takes place during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

[[AC:Literature]]
* Paul Kidby's illustrations for Creator/TerryPratchett's ''Literature/TheLastHero'' include a few panels done as a deft pastiche of the Bayeux Tapestry, just to create a proper old-timey legendary hero effect.

[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* One episode of ''Series/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego'' has Carmen's henchwoman Medeva steal the Bayeux Tapestry from England around the year 1092. The episode in question focuses on the history of textiles.

[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''[[VideoGame/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego1997 Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time]]'' has one period taken during William the Conqueror's reign. The VILE agent is hiding in the Bayeux Tapestry.
* ''VideoGame/DiabloII'': The tapestry in the Act I Cathedral is an actual reproduction of a Bayeux Tapestry segment.

[[AC:Web Original]]
* {{Bardcore}} videos often use the tapestry's art style in their animation, among other famous medieval European works of art.
* The end credits of the ''WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}'' movie are a stylized reproduction of the tapestry. Since the movie was about the invasion of an independent nation, this was fitting, although it's uncertain how many of the viewers actually understood the reference.

[[AC:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': The couch gag of the episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS19E10EPluribusWiggum "E Pluribus Wiggum"]] was a sequence in the style of the tapestry and depicted the Simpsons fighting a war with the Flanders over the Simpson family couch.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs|2020}}'' (revival): In the episode [[Recap/Animaniacs2020Episode16 "Rug of War"]], Yakko, Wakko and Dot find the tapestry in a garage and end up inside as [=2D=] characters, revisiting the conquest of England their own way.
