In the science fiction television show Stargate SG-1, Ba'al is a Goa'uld based on the Baal of mythology. Although exceptionally ruthless, Ba'al seems to possess a somewhat better understanding of human nature than is typical for the Goa'uld and he has a vague understanding of the concept of humor; his style tends toward subtle insidiousness rather than outright cruelty. During Season 8, he is one of the primary antagonists of the show. He is played by the South African actor Cliff Simon.

After Anubis's fleet was destroyed by the Ancients' Antarctic outpost, Ba'al seized control of Anubis's armies and technology, including captured Asgard teleportation technology, and waged war against all the other System Lords. This led the other Goa'uld into a failed attempt to negotiate with the Tau'ri for their support against Ba'al. Ba'al quickly began to conquer the other System Lords using Anubis' forces. However, at some point Anubis managed to return and secretly re-take control of his forces from Ba'al. Ba'al was forced to serve under Anubis, much to his displeasure.

Ba'al's advance against the other System Lords was stopped only by the long-anticipated invasion of the Replicators into the Milky Way galaxy. The Replicator armadas quickly overwhelmed and destroyed the Goa'uld System Lords, and Ba'al found himself fighting a losing battle against the invaders.

Even with the Replicators destroyed, Anubis still intended to claim the superweapon for himself and use it to destroy all life in the galaxy. Anubis allowed Ba'al to live so that he may bear witness to the end of all galactic life.

With his power base gone following the destruction of the System Lords and the rebellion of the Jaffa, Ba'al needed a place to hide, and ended up seeking refuge on Earth itself.

Ultimately, Ba'al was abducted and publicly executed by the Jaffa leader Gerak, causing the Jaffa and SG-1 to briefly believe Ba'al had finally been killed.
