Fate/stay night is a Japanese visual novel game developed by Type-Moon. It was first released for Windows on January 30, 2004. The story takes place over three distinct routes: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel.

Fate/stay night was a critical and commercial success, and is considered a defining work in the visual novel genre. It received several anime and manga adaptations, beginning with a 24-episode anime series by Studio Deen, primarily based on the Fate route, which aired in Japan between January and June 2006. A film adaptation, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, also by Studio Deen, was released in January 2010. A second anime television series, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, was produced by Ufotable and aired between October 2014 and June 2015. A film trilogy by Ufotable adapted the Heaven's Feel route, consisting of three films: presage flower (2017), lost butterfly (2019), and spring song (2020).

The visual novel spawned the Fate media franchise, consisting of many adaptations and spin-offs in various different media. A prequel light novel series titled Fate/Zero was published from 2006 to 2007, with an anime adaptation by Ufotable airing between October 2011 and June 2012.
