Letterboxd (/ˈlɛtərbɒkst/ LET-ər-bokst) is a film discovery platform founded in Auckland, New Zealand, by Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow in 2011. Available on web, iOS, Android, and Apple TV, it allows members to log, rate, review films, keep a diary of films watched, maintain watchlists, make curated lists, and follow other members’ activity. It has been described as "Goodreads for movies".

The platform has been majority owned by the Canadian investment company Tiny since 2023, while Buchanan and von Randow continue to lead the company as chief executive officer (CEO) and chief technology officer (CTO), respectively. It has over 30 million members as of July 2026. In December 2025, Letterboxd launched Letterboxd Video Store, a curated digital film rental service.
