Walt Disney Pictures (also known simply as Disney, otherwise known as Disney Live-Action & Animation) is an American-based film studio part of The Walt Disney Studios. It is known not only for mainly producing animated feature films, but also live-action features.

Walt Disney Pictures was established as a division of Walt Disney Productions (now The Walt Disney Company) on April 1, 1983, and the first film to bear the "Walt Disney Pictures" banner was Never Cry Wolf in 1983. Prior to that, "Walt Disney Productions" was the credit used for the company's live action films, with its very first one, Treasure Island, making its theatrical premiere in 1950. The first Disney film to be shot in widescreen was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, released in 1954. The first Disney animated film to be shot in widescreen was Lady and the Tramp, released in 1955.

It includes films produced by other Disney divisions under Walt Disney Pictures including Walt Disney Animation Studios (since 1986), Pixar (since 1995), and Lucasfilm (since 2012). Additionally, it includes distribution of films produced by The Walt Disney Studios under the Walt Disney Pictures banner, although not involved in co-productions with the aforementioned labels, including Marvel Studios; 20th Century Studios; Regency Enterprises; and Searchlight Pictures (international only) with Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures currently handling distribution.
