Marvel's Behind the Mask is a 2021 American documentary film special directed by Michael Jacobs for the streaming service Disney+. Produced by Marvel New Media with Tarmac Creative, the special explores and features the writers and artists behind several characters from Marvel Comics, their impact on popular culture and media, and discussion of Marvel's history with representation and identity.

The documentary film was first announced in January 2021. Marvel's Behind the Mask was released on February 12, 2021. The film received positive reviews for its informative discussions on creating characters and their interpretations but was criticized for steering away from the advertised topic and for the length of discussions about specific races being short.
