Filem hilang

Filem hilang ialah filem cetera atau filem pendek yang tidak diketahui lagi keberadaannya di arkib studio, koleksi peribadi, atau arkib awam seperti Library of Congress.At least one copy of every American film is required to be deposited and catalogued at the Library of Congress for copyright reasons. Although U.S. copyright law required copies to be deposited at the time of copyright registration, the Librarian of Congress was not required to retain those copies. "Under the provisions of the act of March 4, 1909, authority is granted for the return to the claimant of copyright of such copyright deposits as are not required by the Library." Report of the Register of Copyrights for the Fiscal Year 1912–1913, Library of Congress, 1913, p. 141. Bilangan filem senyap Amerika Syarikat yang hilang lebih banyak daripada yang bertahan dan daripada seluruh filem suara Amerika Syarikat tahun 1927 hingga 1950, separuhnya dipanggarkan hilang daripada peredaran. Frasa "filem hilang" juga boleh digunakan secara harafiah manakala rakaman adegan gagal ialah filem cetera yang belum disunting atau versi alternatifnya yang diketahui telah dibuat namun tidak diketahui kewujudannya. Salinan filem hilang kadang-kadang ditemukan kembali. Filem yang belum ditemukan dalam keaadaan lengkap digelar filem separuh hilang (partially lost film). Contohnya, filem Sherlock Holmes (1922) akhirnya ditemukan namun sebahagian rakamannya masih dinyatakan hilang.
