Episode 9363 of the Australian soap opera Neighbours premiered on 11 December 2025 in the United Kingdom on Amazon Prime Video. It was also broadcast on Network 10 in Australia but was consolidated into a feature length episode with Episode 9362. It is the final episode of Neighbours after the show was cancelled for a third time after forty years of broadcasting. Neighbours was cancelled due to the loss of its broadcaster and main investor, Amazon MGM Studios. The episode was written by Jason Herbison and directed by Scott Major. Neighbours: The Finale (2022) was originally envisioned as the final episode of the show but the show was unexpectedly renewed by Amazon for their Amazon Freevee channel. Production on Neighbours ended in July 2025, after Amazon declined to renew the series.

The episode's plot revolves around the threat of demolition to the series' Ramsay Street setting, following the announcement of a freeway development. Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) and Shane Ramsay (Peter O'Brien) pitch rival developments to past and present Ramsay Street residents, who contemplate what their futures might hold, while Susan Kennedy (Jackie Woodburne) determines to fight to save Ramsay Street. The episode was designed to reflect the real-world position of Neighbours and offer potential concepts for future revivals.

The episode received positive reviews from television critics who applauded Herbison's decision not to attempt to recreate the style of the previous finale. Episode 9363 was initially met with scepticism from critics who believed the 2022 finale had been so successful that another finale would be of inferior quality. Analysis that was mixed to negative focused on the episode failing to relive the previous finale's grandeur and celebratory theme.
