Munkiki's Castles is a mobile game released in 2002, exclusively for the Nokia 3410 via the Club Nokia service. It was one of the first ever mobile games to feature 3D graphics and also one of the first ever mobile games released for the Java ME platform, albeit only for the Nokia 3410. The game features a character named Munkiki wandering around the 3D landscape by pushing and destroying the blocks to try and collect items to finish the levels.

Technically, it was one of the first ever mobile games to feature 3D graphics, one year before OpenGL ES was standardized. Because of the limitations of the original Java ME (known as J2ME 1.0), Nick Reed and Nick Slaven developed a proprietary API for this game, exclusively for the Nokia 3410 mobile phone.

The game is considered as inaccessible due to the fact that the Club Nokia service has been shut down and only a very few Nokia 3410 handsets owned by private collectors still have this game. Two videos of this game, as well as screenshots for this game has been surfaced since.
