Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love (さらば宇宙戦艦ヤマト 愛の戦士たち, Saraba Uchū Senkan Yamato Ai no Senshitachi), also called Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato or Arrivederci Yamato, is the second film based on the classic manga and anime series Space Battleship Yamato (known as Star Blazers in the United States) and the sequel to Space Battleship Yamato (1977).

Set three years after the events of the first film, Yamato must protect Earth from another tyrannical alien race in the form of the White Comet Empire, who prove to be a much graver threat. This same storyline would be reused and expanded on later in the same year on TV in Space Battleship Yamato II, albeit with a different ending.
