Ufotable, Inc. (Japanese: ユーフォーテーブル有限会社, Hepburn: Yūfōtēburu yūgen-gaisha) is a Japanese animation studio founded in October 2000 by former Telecom Animation Film producer Hikaru Kondō and located in Shinjuku, Tokyo. A unique hallmark seen in many of their works (Ninja Nonsense, Futakoi Alternative, Coyote Ragtime Show, Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!, Tales of Symphonia, The Garden of Sinners) is a claymation sequence.

They are known for their long relationship with Type-Moon, having produced adaptations of their works such as Fate/Zero, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, and The Garden of Sinners, as well as Bandai Namco, for whom they have produced an opening animation and cutscenes for many of their games, primarily in the Tales and God Eater series.

One of the studio's most successful works is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
