The Festival du nouveau cinéma or FNC (transl. "Festival of New Cinema") is an annual independent film festival held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, featuring independent films from around the world. Founded in 1971, it is the oldest still-operating film festival in Canada.

Although the festival screens a variety of films by both new and established filmmakers, its core programs are the national and international competitions, which present a variety of awards for both feature and short films by emerging Canadian and international directors.

The festival is currently led by Zoé Protat as artistic director, and Ariane Bélanger as administrative director.
