Nu Boyana Film Studios (Bulgarian: Ню Бояна Филм, romanized: Nyu Boyana Film) are film studios situated in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The film production complex was opened in 1962 and was state owned until 2005 when it was bought by one of the longest-running independent film companies in Hollywood, Nu Image and Millennium Films. With an approximate area of 30 hectares (75 acres), the complex features 10 sound stages and various standing sets – New York, London, Middle Eastern street, St Paul's Cathedral and a big ancient set, complete with a Roman colosseum.^[1]

Boyana Film was the main location for film production during the communist regime when Bulgarian cinema was at its peak.

Since 2020 the company established Nu Boyana Film Studios Hellenic SA, with production studios in Thermi, Greece.
