American International Pictures LLC^[1] (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,^[2] 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,^[3] 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.
