The Cinema of Namibia refers to cinema in the country of Namibia, which claimed its independence from South Africa in 1990.

Before independence, American anthropologist John Marshall made ethnographic films of the Ju/'hoansi for over four decades from 1950 onwards, resulting in documentary films such as The Hunters (1957) and Nǃai, the Story of a ǃKung Woman (1980).[1]

In 2000, the Namibian government passed the Namibian Film Commission Act to promote filmmaking in the country.[2]
