# List of British films of 1931

A list of British films released in 1931. By this point the British film industry had completed the conversion from silent to sound films. Prominent British production companies included British International Pictures and Gainsborough Pictures. The requirements of the 1927 Film Act led a number of American companies to produce or distribute films in Britain, including a growing number of quota quickies.
