"The Jackie Robinson Story" is a 1950 biographical film starring baseball legend Jackie Robinson as himself. Robinson became the first African American Major League Baseball player of the modern era in 1947. Even during its release in the era of segregation, the film did remarkably at the box office. Robinson's achievement has been recognized by the retirement by each Major League team of his uniform number, 42.

On April 19, 2005, 20th Century Fox and Legend Films released a colorized version of the film, donating a portion of the proceeds to the Jackie Robinson Foundation, a charity which benefits education for gifted students. An "official" version remains in release by MGM Home Entertainment (whose sister company United Artists produced this film).
