Supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. Created by Bob Kane, David Wood and Sheldon Moldoff, the character first appeared in Batman #121 (February 1959). Mr. Freeze is one of Batman's most enduring enemies and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up Batman's rogues gallery.

Freeze is a scientist who must wear a cryogenic suit in order to survive, and bases his crimes around a "cold" or "ice" theme, complete with a "freeze gun" that freezes its targets solid. In the most common variation of his origin story, he is a former cryogenics expert who suffered an industrial accident while attempting to cure his terminally ill wife Nora Fries.

Mr. Freeze was played by George Sanders, Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach in the original Batman television series and by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1997 film Batman & Robin, was voiced by Michael Ansara in Batman: The Animated Series and by Clancy Brown in The Batman, and has been voiced by Maurice LaMarche in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise.

IGN's list of the Top 100 Comic Book Villains of All Time List ranked Mr. Freeze as #67.
