​​ HBO Films is a division of the cable television network HBO (short for Home Box Office) that produces feature films and miniseries. While much of HBO Films output is created directly for the television market, such as the film Witness Protection and the miniseries Angels in America, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Generation Kill, and Mildred Pierce, it has also branched into theatrical distribution with such critically acclaimed films as Elephant and American Splendor. These theatrical releases were usually handled by Picturehouse, a joint venture between HBO Films and New Line Cinema; both are owned by Time Warner.

HBO began producing films in 1983 with their HBO Pictures banner. Their first film, The Terry Fox Story, was also the first feature film produced expressly for pay television. Another film production company, HBO Showcase (later HBO NYC) was folded into HBO Pictures to produce the current company HBO Films. HBO Films productions are generally regarded to be high-quality and groundbreaking production. The films produced by the company have garnered hundreds of Primetime Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. HBO Films productions have won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Made for Television Movie every year from 1993 to 2010, except 2000 and 2003. Elephant is the first film produced by HBO Films to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
