Barbie is an upcoming romantic comedy film based on the eponymous fashion doll line by Mattel and directed by Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling lead an ensemble cast as Barbie and Ken, respectively. It will be the first live-action film adaptation in the toyline's multimedia franchise.

Development for the film originally began in 2014 at Sony Pictures. Following multiple writer and director changes and the casting of two different actresses to play the titular character, Sony's option expired, and the rights were transferred to Warner Bros. Pictures. Robbie was cast in 2019 and also serves as a producer under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner alongside Mattel Films and Heyday Films. Gerwig was confirmed as director and co-writer with Baumbach in 2021. Principal photography began in March 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England.

Barbie is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 21, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.
