This is a list of the winners and nominees of the BAFTA Award for Best Children's & Family Film. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) is a British organisation that hosts annual awards shows for film, television, children's film and television, and interactive media.

Contents

Introduced in 2025 after BAFTA changed multiple polices in their award categories, the category was made to showcase films that had inter-generational interest to children, young people and adults. For a film to be considered eligible for the category, it must be rated either a U, PG or 12a by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). [1]

In the following lists, the titles and names in bold with a gold background are the winners and recipients respectively; those not in bold are the nominees. The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released, not the year of the ceremony, which always takes place the following year.
