Tron: Ares (stylized as TRON: Ares) is an upcoming American science fiction film produced by Walt Disney Pictures and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. A standalone sequel to Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010), it is directed by Joachim Rønning, from a screenplay by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne. The film stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson and Sarah Desjardins with Jeff Bridges.

Development of a sequel to Tron: Legacy began in October 2010 by franchise creator Steven Lisberger. Plans changed when the franchise would be moving towards a reboot instead in March 2017, with Leto playing a new character. Garth Davis was set as director in August 2020 when Wigutow was working on the script, but stepped down in January 2023. Rønning replaced him a month later. Production was expected to begin in August 2023 but was delayed by the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Filming ultimately began in January 2024 in Vancouver and wrapped in May.

Tron: Ares is scheduled to be released theatrically on October 10, 2025.
