Kennedy Miller Mitchell (known before 2009 as Kennedy Miller)[1] is an Australian film, television and video game production house in Potts Point, Sydney, that has been producing television and film since 1978. It is responsible for some of Australia's best-known and most successful films, including the five Mad Max films, the two Babe films, and the two Happy Feet films.

Kennedy Miller Mitchell is one of Australia's oldest existing film production companies, and the most successful internationally. Its principals are George Miller and Doug Mitchell who has been a financial partner in the enterprise since 1981 and is George Miller's producing partner.

Many of the films are directed by the co-founder, George Miller, though he sometimes takes an organisational role and prefers to use someone else to direct, as with Babe, which was directed by Chris Noonan.[2]

The company's most recent project was the fifth Mad Max film, titled Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. A prequel and spin-off to the series, the film was released on 23 May 2024, to critical acclaim but was a financial disappointment.
