Family Video was a retail chain that specialized in renting and selling movies and video games. Founded in 1978 in the United States, it became well-known for its wide selection of titles, including DVDs, Blu-rays, and video games across various genres. The stores often featured a friendly atmosphere, making it a popular destination for families and movie enthusiasts. In addition to rentals, Family Video offered a unique business model by selling used movies and games at discounted prices.

Despite the rise of online streaming platforms, Family Video maintained a loyal customer base until its decline in the late 2010s.
