Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Movie (Japanese: 劇場版魔法少女まどか☆マギカ, Hepburn: Gekijō-ban Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika) is a series of Japanese animated dark fantasy action films produced by Aniplex and Shaft based on the titular 2011 anime television series. The first two films, Beginnings and Eternal, were released in October 2012 and serve as a recap of the television series with redone voice acting and newly animated footage. The third film, Rebellion, is an all-new original work, and was released by Warner Bros. Pictures in October 2013.

A manga adaptation illustrated by Hanokage was released by Houbunsha between November 2013 and January 2014. The films are distributed in North America by Aniplex of America.

The third film, Rebellion, was nominated for the Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year and won the Best Theatrical Film Award at the 19th Animation Kobe Awards.

A sequel film to Rebellion, titled Walpurgisnacht: Rising, is set to premiere in Japanese theaters in August 28, 2026.
