Orwell: 2+2=5 is a 2025 documentary film produced, written, and directed by Raoul Peck. It follows the career of George Orwell, particularly the lessons from his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), and how his political observations are still relevant in present day authoritarianism. Damian Lewis narrates the film as Orwell.

The documentary had its world premiere at the Cannes Premiere section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2025, where it was nominated for the L'Œil d'or. It was theatrically released in the United States by Neon on 3 October 2025, and will be released in France by Le Pacte on 25 February 2026.
