Katips the Movie is a Filipino period musical drama film written and directed by Vincent M. Tañada's in 2021. Based on Tañada's 2016 stage musical of the same name, it follows a group of student activists from the Katipunan neighbourhood of Quezon City in the 1970s as they struggle to oppose the imposition of nationwide martial law. The film stars Jerome Ponce, Vince Tañada, Mon Confiado, Sazchna Laparan and Nicole Laurel Asensio, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Dexter Doria, Lou Veloso, Johnrey Rivas, Adelle Ibarrientos and Joshua Bulot.

Katips was first screened for the press at Gateway Mall in Quezon City on November 27, 2021, then screened for the public on December 3. It was originally intended to be part of the 2021 Metro Manila Film Festival, but it was left out of the final list of entries. It was re-released again in August 3, 2022 to combat the release of Maid in Malacañang. The film received positive reviews from audience and critics. Additionally, the film received 17 FAMAS Award nominations, the most out of any film in 2021, and won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director (Tañada), Best Actor (Tañada) and Best Supporting Actor (Rivas).
