Die Gute Fabrik is an independent game developer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded in 2008 by artist Nils Deneken, and joined by game designers Douglas Wilson and Christoffer Holmgård, the studio was afterwards led by writer Hannah Nicklin.
The company is best known for developing Where Is My Heart? and Johann Sebastian Joust, a game included in Sportsfriends, as well as Mutazione and Saltsea Chronicles.
In February 2024, the studio announced that they had "halted production" as they were unable to secure funding for their next project.{{cite web|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/narrative-game-studio-die-gute-fabrik-has-halted-production-because-it-cant-find-funding-for-a-new-project/|title=Narrative game studio Die Gute Fabrik has 'halted production' because it can't find funding for a new project|first=Andy|last=Chalk|work=PC Gamer|date=February 27, 2023|accessdate=March 4, 2024}}
