The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is the largest film festival of any kind in the state of Georgia. The 23-day festival is held in late winter at multiple venues in Atlanta, Georgia and in the suburbs of Alpharetta, Marietta and Sandy Springs. Contemporary and classic independent Jewish film from around the world feature at the festival.

The festival was founded in 2000 by the Atlanta regional office of American Jewish Committee and continues to grow each year, having incorporated as an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2014. In 2015, more than 38,600 attended the festival. Kenny Blank (son of Atlanta businessman Arthur Blank) serves as the executive director of the organization.
