Pathé Exchange, commonly known as Pathé, was an American film production and distribution company, largely of Hollywood's silent era.

The following year, it released Robert J. Flaherty's groundbreaking documentary Nanook of the North. Other notable feature releases included the controversial drama Sex (1920) and director/producer Cecil B. DeMille's box-office-topping biblical epic The King of Kings (1927/28).
