The Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) is an annual film festival based in Cleveland, Ohio. Inaugurated in 1977, it's the largest film festival in Ohio and among the longest-running in the United States. The festival is held at Playhouse Square, the largest performing arts center in the United States outside of New York City.

In 2023, MovieMaker named it one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World". CIFF is also an Academy Award-qualifying festival for short films.
