Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces is a 2014 feature-length compilation of deleted and extended scenes from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, a 1992 film directed by David Lynch and written by Lynch and Robert Engels. It was released over twenty-two years after the movie and the original series ended and three years before the revival, Twin Peaks: The Return, aired.

Several scenes from Fire Walk with Me—a film that serves as a prequel to the television series Twin Peaks (1990–1991), created by Mark Frost and Lynch—were left unused in order to keep the film at a two-hour-and-fifteen-minute running time. The Missing Pieces comprises the unused footage from Fire Walk with Me, piecing together the deleted scenes to make a feature-length film.

Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces features the cast of Fire Walk with Me, including Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly, David Bowie, Chris Isaak, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Wise, Kyle MacLachlan, and Mädchen Amick. Due to the expanded content, The Missing Pieces expands upon the fictional investigation into the murder of Teresa Banks (Pamela Gidley), as well as the last seven days in the life of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a popular high school student in the fictional Washington town of Twin Peaks.

The Missing Pieces also includes scenes that feature characters from the television series that were excluded from Fire Walk with Me, such as Josie Packard (Joan Chen), Ed Hurley (Everett McGill), and Nadine Hurley (Wendy Robie).
