 * This article is about feature films released under the Universal banner. For a broader list of Universal films, see Lists of films released by Universal Studios.

This is a list of notable theatrical feature films produced or distributed by Universal Pictures, founded in 1912 as the Universal Film Manufacturing Company. It is the main motion picture production and distribution arm of Universal Studios, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal division of Comcast.

This list is organized by release date and includes live action feature films and animated feature films (including films developed and produced by Universal Animation, Illumination and DreamWorks Animation). For an exclusive list of animated films released by Universal Pictures and its previous entities see List of Universal Pictures theatrical animated features.

If Universal Pictures did not produce the film and only distributed it, the film will not be included on this list. This list also does not include films labeled, produced or distributed by other Universal imprints or subsidiaries, including Focus Features (unless Focus is credited as a co-production partner) and does not include any direct-to-video releases.
