The Studio Backlot Tour was an attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It was a combination of a walking and tram tour of the backlot area of the park.[2]

Originally the park's premier attraction, its final operating day, after years of downscaling, for newer experiences not announced at the time, was on September 27, 2014; the ride then closed September 28.[1] In August 2015, it was announced that the area would be used for Toy Story Land.[3] The entire attraction has now been demolished.
