The Piano is a 1993 historical romance film written and directed by New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion. It stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, and Anna Paquin (in her first major acting role). The film focuses on a mute Scottish woman who travels to a remote part of New Zealand with her young daughter after her arranged marriage to a settler. The plot has similarities to Jane Mander's 1920 novel, The Story of a New Zealand River, but also substantial differences. Campion has cited the novels Wuthering Heights and The African Queen as inspirations.

An international co-production between New Zealand, Australia, and France, The Piano premiered at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 1993, which it won the Palme d'Or, making Campion the first female director to achieve that distinction. It was a commercial success, grossed US$140.2 million worldwide (equivalent to $305.2 million in 2024) against its US$7 million budget (equivalent to $15.2 million in 2024), noted for its crossover appeal beyond the arthouse circuit to attracting mainstream popularity, largely due to rave reviews and word of mouth.

The Piano earned numerous accolades including three Academy Awards, a WGA Award, a Golden Globe Award, three BAFTA Awards, and eleven Australian Film Institute Awards.
