The Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) is a film school in Pune, India.

Established as the Film Institute of India in the year 1960 on the erstwhile Prabhat Studio premises at Pune, the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) has truly lived up to its avowed objective in the field of cinema, imparting excellent training in film and television production. The FTII is considered as a center of excellence not only in India but also in Asia and Europe. Films made by the students of the Institute are entered in both national and international film festivals. Many of them have won awards. The first TV documentary produced by the Institute, "Pandit Vinayakrao Patwardhan," is unique because the legendary musician, having acted in a movie ["Madhuri" (1932)], had vowed never again to appear in a motion picture medium, and before and after this documentary, a rare exception, he never did.

The Institute has indeed come a long way from its humble beginnings. The Government of India purchased the Prabhat Studio in Poona, where the well-known Prabhat Film Company had produced such notable films as Kunku, Manoos, Shejari, and Sant Tukaram, when the property was offered for sale, and established the Film Institute of India in the year 1960. The Institute was later renamed the Film and Television Institute of India.

The historic studios of the Prabhat era still continue to be used by the Institute for producing films. These studios have been declared heritage sites by the Pune Municipal Corporation.

The first convocation of the Institute was presided over by Indira Gandhi.

The FTII is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of the Government of India. Its policies are determined by a governing council, which also appoints the director of the Institute.

The Institute offers postgraduate courses in Direction, Cinematography, Editing, Audiography, Acting, and Art Direction. It also offers other certificate courses in film and television.
