Slender: The Arrival is a 2013 first-person psychological survival horror video game developed by Blue Isle Studios and Parsec Productions. Based on the Slender Man, a creepypasta character created by Eric Knudsen, who served as a producer, it is a sequel to Parsec's Slender: The Eight Pages (2012), and incorporates a remake of that game. It revolves around a young woman who ventures on the woods to unravel the mystery about her childhood best friend's disappearance.

The game was first released for Microsoft Windows and OS X on March 26, 2013, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in September 2014, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in March 2015, and Wii U in October 2015. A Nintendo Switch version was released in June 2019 while Android and iOS versions were released in October 2021. Slender: The Arrival received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with praise for its soundtrack, atmosphere, and jump scares. Criticism was directed at its length and repetitive gameplay.

A 10th anniversary remaster was released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and for Microsoft Windows via Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 18, 2023. Virtual reality versions on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest Pro, PlayStation VR2, and Microsoft Windows are scheduled for release on May 13, 2025. A sequel, S: The Lost Chapters, is scheduled for release in 2026.
