The Night Guard is a recurring character archetype within the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) game series. Their role is primarily that of the player, tasked with surviving a week of nightly shifts, typically from midnight to 6 AM, while animatronic characters roam freely.

The specific identity of the Night Guard varies across different FNAF installments. They are often depicted as a new hire or someone desperate for employment, unaware of the true dangers lurking within the establishment. Their first appearance is in the original Five Nights at Freddy's game (2014).

In some iterations, details about the Night Guard's background are revealed through subtle clues or dialogue, though much of their story remains shrouded in mystery. The player experiences the game through their perspective, making the Night Guard a crucial, albeit often voiceless and unseen, figure in the FNAF narrative.
