Five Nights at Freddy's is a 2023 American supernatural horror film based on the video game series of the same name created by Scott Cawthon. It was directed by Emma Tammi and written by Cawthon, Tammi and Seth Cuddeback. The film stars Josh Hutcherson as a troubled security guard who starts a job at a condemned pizzeria where he discovers that its animatronic mascots are possessed by the spirits of murdered children abducted by a serial killer long ago.

Development of a Five Nights at Freddy's film adaptation began in April 2015 under Warner Bros. Pictures. Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg were set to produce it, with Gil Kenan announced as director and co-writer. After multiple production delays, Kenan resigned from the project and further development on the film was transferred from Warner Bros. to Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions in March 2017. Chris Columbus was hired to direct and write the film in February 2018, ultimately leaving the project and being replaced by Tammi in October 2022. Principal photography occurred from February to April 2023 in New Orleans and surrounding communities.
