Nativity Rocks! (also known as Nativity 4) is a 2018 British Christmas comedy film and the fourth installment of the Nativity film series by Debbie Isitt. It stars Simon Lipkin, Celia Imrie, Craig Revel Horwood, Helen George, Ruth Jones & Daniel Boys. Like its predecessors, it was distributed by Entertainment One.

The only people who reprised their roles in this film were Celia Imrie (who portrayed Mrs Keen, the headteacher of St Bernadette's who took over from Mrs Bevan after Pam Ferris did not reprise her role in Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?), Jessica Hynes (who portrayed Angel Matthews in Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger) and Lyla Peters (who portrayed a St Bernadettes Student in Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?). Simon Lipkin and John Danziel play new characters, with Simon Lipkin who previously played a grotto elf in Nativity 3: Dude, Where's My Donkey?, playing a new character named Jerry Poppy, who is Desmond Poppy's younger brother. Jerry acts as a fill-in for Desmond as Marc Wootton did not return to reprise the character, and John Danziel who previously played a Judge in Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger plays a TV Reporter. In addition, Simon Lipkin had previously played the role of Desmond Poppy in Nativity! The Musical.
