The History of Motion Pictures is a 1935 book by Robert Brasillach and Maurice Bardèche. Originally released in French as Histoire du Cinéma, it was translated into English by Iris Barry in 1938 and published in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin as History of the Film.

The History of Motion Pictures is regarded as an influential work of film criticism. According to scholar Alice Kaplan, it was "probably the first general history of cinema written in France, if not the world."
