Screen Rant is an entertainment website and YouTube channel that offers news in the fields of television, films, video games, and comic books. It is owned by Valnet, parent of publications including Comic Book Resources, Collider, MovieWeb and XDA Developers.

Screen Rant was launched by Vic Holtreman in 2003. In February 2015, Screen Rant was acquired by Valnet, an online media company based in Montreal, Quebec. It was combined with its sister site, Game Rant, in 2019, when Valnet acquired the other publication. Screen Rant founder, Vic Holtreman, who had served as the company's CEO, sold the website to Valnet.

Screen Rant's YouTube channel featured a web series called Pitch Meeting by YouTube comedian Ryan George, which was then spin-off onto its own channel. In the series, George plays both a screenwriter and a film producer in a pitch for a film or television series, describing its plot in a humorous way that highlights various inconsistencies.

In 2025, Screen Rant, in partnership with Valnet properties Collider, CBR, and MovieWeb, announced the first Screen Awards, honoring achievements in film, television, and anime.
