MTCNN, short for Multitask Cascaded Convolutional Networks, is a face detection and alignment framework that finds faces in images and predicts five facial landmarks (eyes, nose, and mouth corners) in a single pipeline.

Introduced in 2016 by Kaipeng Zhang and colleagues, it became one of the most widely adopted face detectors in the deep learning era and remains in active use today.

If you have worked with face recognition, emotion analysis, or any computer vision pipeline that needs reliably cropped and aligned faces, there is a good chance MTCNN was somewhere in the stack.
