The Paris Independent Film Festival is an annual film festival showcasing international independent films that takes place in Paris, France. It features a competition and awards films in various categories. It has a special emphasis on films that have no distribution yet, but also screens other films out of competition. The Culture Trip named it as one of "7 great Paris Film Events" after its inaugural edition, and Shooters Hill Campus names it as a destination for trips during its film studies program along Berlin Film Festival.

The festival was founded in 2015 and takes place at the Reflet Médicis theatre in Paris. It showcases short and feature films of any genre, from narrative to documentary.

Many filmmakers attend the screenings of their films, and past attendants included Alexis Krasilovsky and Ira Schneider.
