Hollywood Greats is a BBC Television series, which originally ran from 1977 to 1985. The film critic Barry Norman wrote and narrated a series of in-depth profiles on major Hollywood film personalities, in which he interviewed surviving associates. He was also responsible for a series called British Greats in 1980. A series of books, titled The Hollywood Greats, The Movie Greats and The British Greats, which were written by Norman, were published.

A series with the same title was narrated by Ian McShane in 1999 and presented by Jonathan Ross from 2002 to 2007.
