Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a 2025 American supernatural horror film based on the video game series Five Nights at Freddy's created by Scott Cawthon and the sequel to the 2023 film adaptation. The film was directed by Emma Tammi and written by Cawthon. Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, and Matthew Lillard reprise their roles from the previous film, with Wayne Knight joining the cast. Set a year and a half after the previous film, it follows Abby Schmidt (Rubio) as she gets manipulated by the Marionette, an animatronic from the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza who aims to plot revenge against parents.

Cawthon stated in August 2018 that there could be a second Five Nights at Freddy's film based on the events of the series' second game if the first film were successful. Hutcherson revealed the development of a sequel in January 2024, with Blumhouse Productions confirming it three months later. Principal photography began in November 2024 and concluded in February 2025 in New Orleans and surrounding communities.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 premiered at the TCL Chinese Theater on December 2, 2025, and was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on December 5. While the film was a commercial success, grossing $240 million worldwide against a budget between $36–51 million, it received negative reviews from critics.
