20th Century Animation, Inc. (previously known as Fox Family Films and 20th Century Fox Animation and sometimes referred to as Fox Animation) is an American animation studio located in Century City, Los Angeles, until its lease with Fox Corporation ended and it was relocated to the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributes and markets the films produced by this studio in theatrical markets. Formed in February 1994, it is organized as a division and label of 20th Century Studios, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Studios, and specializes in producing animated feature-length films. At one point, 20th Century Animation had two subsidiaries: Don Bluth's Fox Animation Studios, which was closed on June 26, 2000, and Blue Sky Studios (the latter became the primary unit of 20th Century Animation), which was closed on April 10, 2021. The studio is one of Disney's three feature animation studios, alongside Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar.

The studio has produced a total of 36 feature films (six films as Fox Family Films, three films from Fox Animation Studios, thirteen feature films from Blue Sky Studios, and fourteen original films), most of them being distributed by 20th Century Studios. Their first film was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and their first animated film was Anastasia, with the most recent release being Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw. Its upcoming slate of films include Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway slated for release in December 2026, Ice Age: Boiling Point slated for theatrical release on February 5, 2027, and The New Simpsons Movie slated for theatrical release on September 3, 2027.

Anastasia, Ice Age and Rio are the studio's most commercially successful franchises, while Robots (2005), The Simpsons Movie (2007), Horton Hears a Who! (2008), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Book of Life (2014), The Peanuts Movie (2015), Spies in Disguise (2019), Ron's Gone Wrong (2021), and Predator: Killer of Killers (2025) are among its most critically praised films.
