Jeonju International Film Festival (JIFF, Korean: 전주국제영화제; Hanja: 全州國際映畵祭) is an Asian film festival based in South Korea. It was launched in 2000 as a non-competitive film festival seeking to introduce independent and experimental films to the general public and focusing on the art of contemporary cinematography.

In the first edition of JIFF, the debut films of Darren Aronofsky were introduced to South Korea. For the first time in Asia, JIFF highlighted the early works of Béla Tarr as well. The winners of Jeonju IFF's International Competition Section include Ying Liang, John Akomfrah, and Miike Takashi.

Jeonju has also invested in films that were later produced by the festival. Directors who attended Jeonju IFF were invited again to join Jeonju Digital Project (JDP), with a set of three digital shorts. JDP granted financial support to masters for their short films and world-premiered those pieces in Jeonju.

Celebrating its 15th edition, JDP has expanded to feature-length films along with György Pálfi (Hungary) and Park Jung bum/Shin Yeon-shick (Republic of Korea).

JIFF also features an experimental category called Expanded Cinema (formerly called Stranger than Cinema).
