Loews Cineplex Entertainment, also known as Loews Incorporated, was an American movie theater chain operating in North America.

The company was originally named "Loew's" after its founder Marcus Loew. In 1969, when the Tisch brothers acquired the company, it became known as "Loews". The company merged with Canadian-based Cineplex Odeon Corporation in 1998, but went bankrupt in 2001. The company merged with AMC Theatres on January 26, 2006, while the Canadian operations merged with Cineplex Galaxy in 2003.

The Loews Theatres name remained in use until 2017, when AMC simplified its branding following the acquisition of Carmike Cinemas, reorganising its operations into three divisions: AMC, AMC Classic, and AMC Dine-In. Prior to its discontinuation, Loews Cineplex operated theatres under a number of brand names that reflected different ownership periods and regional markets, including Loews Theatres, Cineplex Odeon, Star Theatres, Magic Johnson Theatres, Cinemex, and MEGABOX. The company maintained corporate offices in New York City and Toronto.

From 1924 to 1959, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) was its sibling company until it sold its controlling interest in Loew's Theatres to the Tisch brothers. Later, this company was jointly owned by Sony Pictures and Universal Studios. It operated theaters in the United States, Canada, South Korea, Spain, and Mexico.
