The Korean Art Film Studio (Korean: 조선예술영화촬영소), also known as the Pyongyang Film Studio, is a film studio and production company in Pyongyang, North Korea. Founded in 1947 as the National Film Studio, it is the largest North Korean film studio, covering an area of over 1 million square meters. It has around 1,800 employees and is run by North Korea's Ministry of Culture.

The studio's debut was My Home Village (1949), the first ever feature film produced in North Korea following its establishment. According to Koryo Tours, the Korean Art Film Studio has since been involved in the production of hundreds of North Korean films.
