ZDoom is an advanced source port with Boom compatibility; complete support for Heretic, Hexen, Strife, and Chex Quest; as well as many additional new features, including slopes, uncapped framerate, and z-clipping. It was originally based on a merger of the ATB Doom and NTDOOM source ports.

The port was maintained by Randy Heit, Graf Zahl, and Blzut3. The large number of editing features supported by ZDoom have made it a port of choice for several independent game projects, notably Foreverhood, Action Doom 2: Urban Brawl, Chex Quest 3, and Harmony. ZDoom has also served as a popular code base to build upon, with numerous other source ports derived from it or using portions of its code. Many in the Doom community use development versions of the port before they are officially released as stable builds.

Development ceased in January 2017, further development being restricted to GZDoom and QZDoom.
