MovieWeb is an entertainment news website and video brand that reports on entertainment news through its website. The site also maintains a searchable database of films. It is owned by Valnet, parent of publications including Screen Rant, Collider, CBR, and XDA Developers.

MovieWeb first launched in 1995; by 1997 it was reported to be in operation supported by a 4-person team publishing movie information that, while not 'slick', had a 'certain charm'. In 2012, MovieWeb produced a popular video which was an '80s-themed parody mashup of The Walking Dead series accompanied by music from Growing Pains that went viral.

In 2021, it was estimated the MovieWeb website had 8 million unique visits for the month of July. MovieWeb has been owned and operated by online publisher Valnet Inc. since September 2021 upon completion of the acquisition from WatchR.
