Fnac (French pronunciation: [fnak]) is a French multinational retail chain specializing in the sale of entertainment media and consumer electronics.

Fnac was founded by André Essel and Max Théret in 1954.[1] Its headquarters is located in Le Flavia in Ivry-sur-Seine near Paris. Its name is an abbreviation of Fédération Nationale d’Achats des Cadres ("National Purchasing Federation for Cadres"). It merged with Darty in 2016 to become Groupe Fnac Darty.
