Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, known simply as Street Fighter II (ストリートファイター II, Sutorīto Faitā Tsū) in Japan, is a 1994 animated action film and the film adaptation of the Street Fighter II fighting game written by Kenichi Imai, directed by Gisaburō Sugii, animated by Group TAC and featuring character designs by Shuko Murase. It is the first fully animated film in the Street Fighter franchise, distributed by Capcom in Japan (20th Century Fox distributed the film in select countries). The film, originally released in Japan on August 6, 1994, was released theatrically in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Spain, and was adapted into English in dubbed and subtitled format by Animaze for Manga Entertainment.

The film was a critical and commercial success. Group TAC later produced a more loose adaptation of the Street Fighter II games, the anime series Street Fighter II V. Though unrelated to the film, a handful of Animaze voice actors reprised their roles for their English dub of the series, produced after ADV Films's dub.
