FNC Entertainment (Korean: FNC 엔터테인먼트; 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. Han, a devout Christian says he uses the name to hope for more miracles to happen for the company.[citation needed]

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.
