The following lists the film appearances of the actress and film producer Mary Pickford. A prolific performer in short films, averaging one per week over the first two years of her career, Pickford became one of the most popular of film actresses, and as a founding member of United Artists in 1919, also one of the most influential. Her career did not continue for long after the advent of sound film, although she continued to be a prominent figure in Hollywood, occasionally producing films until the end of the 1940s.
