American International Pictures LLC (AIP sau American International Productions) este o etichetă de filme lungmetraj americană deținută de Amazon MGM Studios. În perioada sa inițială de operație, AIP a fost o companie independentă de producție și distribuție de filme cunoscută pentru producerea și lansarea de filme din 1955 până în 1980, un an după achiziția sa de către Filmways în 1979.

A fost formată pe 2 aprilie 1954 ca American Releasing Corporation (ARC) de fostul director de vânzări al Realart Pictures Inc. James H. Nicholson și avocatul de divertisment Samuel Z. Arkoff, iar prima lor lansare a fost documentarul englez din 1953 Operation Malaya. A fost dedicată lansării de filme cu buget redus, ambalate ca filme duble, de interes în primul rând pentru adolescenții din anii 1950, 1960 și 1970.

Compania a devenit eventual o parte a Orion Pictures, care la rândul ei a devenit o divizie a Amazon MGM Studios. Pe 7 octombrie 2020, la patru decenii după închiderea sa originală, MGM a readus AIP ca o etichetă pentru achiziții de filme lansate teatral și digital, cu MGM supravegeând prin platorme de streaming iar United Artists Releasing gestionând distribuția în cinematografe în America de Nord până în 2023 când Amazon MGM Studios a preluat-o.
