Slender: The Arrival is a 2013 survival horror video game developed by Blue Isle Studios and Parsec Productions. Based on the Slender Man, a creepypasta character created by Eric Knudsen, who served as a producer, it is a sequel to Parsec's Slender: The Eight Pages (2012), and incorporates a remake of that game. It revolves around a young woman who ventures on the woods to unravel the mystery about her childhood best friend's disappearance.

Slender: The Arrival partnered with the Marble Hornets team, Joseph DeLage, Tim Sutton, and Troy Wagner to helped write the script for the initial release. It was first released for Microsoft Windows and macOS in March 2013. It was later released for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in September 2014, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in March 2015, Wii U in October 2015, Nintendo Switch in June 2019, and Android and iOS in October 2021.

Slender: The Arrival received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its soundtrack, atmosphere, and jump scares. Criticism was directed at its short length and repetitive gameplay. A 10th anniversary remaster was released for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on October 18, 2023. Virtual reality versions were planned for release in late 2025, but were not released that year. A sequel, S: The Lost Chapters, is in production.
