Shaq Fu: Da Return is the second studio album released by Shaquille O'Neal. It was released on November 8, 1994 for Jive Records and featured production from Redman, Erick Sermon, Def Jef and Warren G. The album was not as successful as his previous album, but it still found decent success, peaking at #67 on the Billboard 200 and #19 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

It also spawned two singles, "Biological Didn't Bother" (which discusses O'Neal's estrangement from his biological father, with whom he has expressed no desire for reconciliation) and "No Hook" which featured Wu-Tang Clan members, Method Man and RZA. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA. The kanji 風—meaning 'wind'—is used on the cover, which can be pronounced as 'fu' in Japanese. It has no relation to the 'fu' (夫) in 'kung fu' (功夫) of which the album references its name.
