Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. (株式会社スクウェア・エニックス・ホールディングス, Kabushikigaisha Sukū~Ea Enikkusu Hōrudingusu) is a Japanese multinational holding company, production enterprise and entertainment conglomerate, best known for its RPG franchises, such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Star Ocean, and Kingdom Hearts, among numerous others. Outside of video game publishing and development, it is also in the business of merchandise, arcade facilities, and manga publication under its Gangan Comics brand. In 2009, Square Enix acquired Eidos plc, the parent company of British game publisher Eidos Interactive, which was then absorbed into Square Enix Europe's part of the group, Square Enix Limited.

While it does not generally produce anime directly, many of its properties have been adapted into anime, either from games or manga, in most cases.
