Photoplayeva nagrada za najbolji film

Photoplayeva nagrada za najbolji film (sh. Photoplay Award for Best film) je bila filmska nagrada koju je od 1920. do 1968. dodjeljivao američki filmski časopis Photoplay. Ustanovljena je pod imenom Photoplayeva medalja časti, a kasnije se koristio i naziv Photoplayeva zlatna medalja. Predstavlja prvu važniju nagradu u historiji filma. Od 1920. do 1939. se dodjeljivala na osnovu ankete među čitateljima, a od 1944. do 1952. na osnovu ankete koju je sprovodila kompanija Audience Research Inc. Od 1953. do 1968. su najbolji film ponovno birali čitatelji.
