Kingsley-International Pictures was an American film importing and releasing agency based in New York City, active from 1952 to 1962 under Edward Kingsley, with its product distributed by Union Motion Picture Distributors. The company specialized in importing foreign art house films, particularly from France, and was notable for introducing Brigitte Bardot to American audiences through And God Created Woman and for releasing the first film adaptation of Lady Chatterley Lover, which led to a landmark 1959 United States Supreme Court ruling on censorship.
