Kinema Junpo (キネマ旬報 Kinema Junpō?), commonly called Kinejun (キネ旬?), is a Japanese academic film magazine which began publication in July 1919. The magazine was founded by a group of four students, including Saburō Tanaka, at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Technical High School at the time). In that first month, it was published three times on days with a "1" in them. These first three issue were printed on art paper and had four pages each. Kinejun initially specialized in covering foreign films, though it has now expanded coverage to films released in Japan.

After their building was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in September 1923, the Kinejun offices were moved to the city of Ashiya in the Hanshin area of Japan, though the main offices are now back in Tokyo.
