Inconvenient Indian is a 2020 Canadian documentary film, directed by Michelle Latimer. It is an adaptation of Thomas King's non-fiction book The Inconvenient Indian, focusing on narratives of indigenous peoples of Canada. King stars as the documentary's narrator, with Gail Maurice and other indigenous artists appearing.

It premiered at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won multiple accolades. The film uses a non-linear narrative style to reflect its indigenous roots and deliver its story visually. It explores topics of indigenous people's history and present. The film was widely praised, particularly for Latimer's direction and its authentic indigenous style and voice, and won various documentary awards at Canadian festivals.

In December 2020, following the emergence of questions around Latimer's indigenous identity, the film was withdrawn from distribution.
