The Magritte Award for Best First Feature Film (French: Magritte du meilleur premier film) is an award presented annually by the Académie André Delvaux. It is one of the Magritte Awards, which were established to recognize excellence in Belgian cinematic achievements.[1]

It was introduced in 2013 as an audience award.[2] However, its first winner Dead Man Talking was announced during the 66th Cannes Film Festival, three months later the 3rd Magritte Awards ceremony.[3] In 2016, the Magritte Award for Best First Feature Film became a merit category. As of the 2022 ceremony, Playground is the most recent winner in this category.
