A number of Akira Kurosawa's films have been remade.

Note: This list includes full remakes only; it does not include films whose narratives have been loosely inspired by the basic plot of one or more of the director's films – as A Bug's Life (1998) references both Seven Samurai (1954) and its Hollywood remake The Magnificent Seven (1960) – nor movies that adopt or parody individual plot elements or characters from a Kurosawa film without adapting the entire film, as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977) did with The Hidden Fortress (1958).

The information below is derived from the Akira Kurosawa IMDB page and Stuart Galbraith IV's filmography of the director.
