The BAFTA Award for Best Children's & Family Film is a film award given by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) at the annual British Academy Film Awards. BAFTA is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, and video games (and formerly also for children's film and television).
Introduced in 2025 after BAFTA changed multiple polices in their award categories, the category was made to showcase films that had inter-generational interest to children, young people and adults. For a film to be considered eligible for the category, it must be rated either a U, PG or 12a by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).[1]
In the following lists, the titles and names in bold with a gold background are the winners and recipients respectively; those not in bold are the nominees. The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which always takes place the following year.
