FNC Entertainment (; stands for "fish and cake") is a South Korean entertainment company established in 2006 by South Korean singer and record producer Han Seong-ho. The company operates as a record label, talent agency, music production company, event management and concert production company, and music publishing house. Since January 2012, the company has been based in its offices in Cheongdam-dong.

The name is based on the miracle of feeding the multitude using only five loaves and the two fish. This is because Han Seong-ho is a devout Christian and he uses the name to hope for more miracles to happen for the company.

The label is home to musical artists such as rock bands F.T. Island, CNBLUE, and N.Flying, and K-pop groups SF9, P1Harmony, and Ampers&One. It also manages a number of entertainers, including Lee Guk-joo and Moon Se-yoon, and a number of actors, including Jung Hae-in, Lee Dong-gun, Sung Hyuk, and Rowoon.
