Alchemy (錬金術, Renkinjutsu) is a philosophical and scientific tradition utilized by several characters of the Suikoden series. It is the Suikoden equivalent of the scientific method.

Most non-rune based chemical and mechanical developments in the world of Suikoden are considered alchemical to some degree, save for medicine and, apparently, the works of the dwarves. Alchemy, like much knowledge in the Suikoden world, can be traced back to the Sindar.

Alchemy, as a method of engineering, is said to have originated with the Sindar engineer Borah Atkins. Modern alchemy derives mainly from Dennis Toller and his work, Dialogues of Wind and Earth. Alchemical innovations and offshoots of Dennis Toller's work have been used by blacksmiths, for both weapon and armour creation, tricksters, for engineering purposes, as well as the Howling Voice Guild, in the maintaining of their weapons.
