From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of films with fictional and factual intersex characters. The films were released theatrically, direct-to-video, or on a streaming platform (non-linear network).

This list does not include documentaries, which are included in the categories of LGBTQ-related films by decade, or animated intersex characters, which are noted in List of fictional intersex characters. Various live-action films feature either intersex issues as a plot element or have intersex characters.
