Ocean's Twelve is a 2004 heist comedy film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by George Nolfi. Serving as the second installment in the Ocean's film trilogy, it is a direct sequel to Ocean's Eleven (2001). The film features an ensemble cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Andy García, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, Julia Roberts, Casey Affleck, Scott Caan, Vincent Cassel, Eddie Jemison, Carl Reiner, and Elliott Gould. Its plot follows Danny Ocean and his crew as they are forced to regroup for a series of elaborate heists across Europe after being targeted by Terry Benedict and a mysterious rival thief known as the Night Fox.

The film was released theatrically in the US on December 10, 2004, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its style and cast chemistry but criticized its complex narrative. The film was a commercial success, grossing $362.9 million worldwide, making it the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2004.

The story was continued with Ocean's Thirteen (2007), again directed by Soderbergh and featuring most of the original ensemble. A spin-off film, Ocean's 8, starring an all-female cast, was released in 2018.
